More quotes by Khalil Gibran
Sadness is but a wall between two gardens.
Khalil Gibran
God made Truth with many doors to welcome every believer who knocks on them.
Khalil Gibran
Your soul is oftentimes a battlefield, upon your reason and your judgment wage war against your passion and your appetite.
Khalil Gibran
Some of our children are our justifications and some are but our regrets
Khalil Gibran
Love prides itself not only in the one who loves, but also in the beloved.
Khalil Gibran
A friend who is far away is sometimes much nearer than one who is at hand. Is not the mountain far more awe-inspiring and more clearly visible to one passing through the valley than to those who inhabit the mountain?
Khalil Gibran
Of time you would make a stream upon whose bank you would sit and watch its flowing. Yet the timeless in you is aware of life's timelessness, And knows that 'yesterday is but today's memory and tomorrow is today's dream.
Khalil Gibran
It is only when you are pursued that you become swift.
Khalil Gibran
The lust for comfort, that stealthy thing that enters the house a guest, and then becomes a host, and then a master.
Khalil Gibran
A look which reveals inward stress adds more beauty to the face, no matter how much tragedy and pain it bespeaks but the face which, in silence, does not announce hidden mysteries is not beautiful, regardless of the symmetry of its features.
Khalil Gibran
He alone is great who turns the voice of the wind into a song made sweeter by his own loving.
Khalil Gibran
When life does not find a singer to sing her heart she produces a philosopher to speak her mind.
Khalil Gibran
There are those who give little of the much which they have - and they give it for recognition and their hidden desire makes their gifts unwholesome.
Khalil Gibran
God has placed in each soul an apostle to lead us upon the illumined path. Yet many seek life from without, unaware that is within them.
Khalil Gibran
Friendship with the ignorant is as foolish as arguing with a drunkard.
Khalil Gibran
Learn the words of wisdom uttered by the wise and apply them in your own life. Live them - but do not a make a show of reciting them, for he who repeats what he does not understand is no better than an ass loaded with books.
Khalil Gibran
The things which the child loves remain in the domain of the heart until old age. The most beautiful thing in life is that our souls remain hovering over the places where we once enjoyed ourselves. I am one of those who remembers those places regardless of distance or time.
Khalil Gibran
Wit is often a mask. If you tear it you will find either genius irritated or cleverness juggling.
Khalil Gibran
Wisdom ceases to be wisdom when it becomes too proud to weep, too grave to laugh, and too selfish to seek other than itself.
Khalil Gibran
They say: 'If a man knew himself, he would know all mankind.' I say: 'If a man loved mankind, he would know something of himself.
