More quotes by Khalil Gibran
I would not exchange the laughter of my heart for the fortunes of the multitudes.
Khalil Gibran
They have exiled me now from their society and I am pleased, because humanity does not exile except the one whose noble spirit rebels against despotism and oppression. He who does not prefer exile to slavery is not free by any measure of freedom
Khalil Gibran
Sow a seed and the earth will yield you a flower. Dream your dream to the sky and it will bring you your beloved.
Khalil Gibran
You were born together, and together you shall be forevermore. You shall be together when the white wings of death scatter your days. Ay, you shall be together even in the silent memory of God. But let there be spaces in your togetherness, and let the winds of the heavens dance between you.
Khalil Gibran
I have learned silence from the talkative, toleration from the intolerant, and kindness from the unkind yet, strange, I am ungrateful to those teachers.
Khalil Gibran
He is short-sighted who looks only on the path he treads and the wall on which he leans.
Khalil Gibran
History does not repeat itself except in the minds of those who do not know history.
Khalil Gibran
A root is a flower that disdains fame.
Khalil Gibran
The poet is a bird of strange moods. He descends from his lofty domain to tarry among us, singing if we do not honor him he will unfold his wings and fly back to his dwelling place.
Khalil Gibran
Seek ye counsel of the aged for their eyes have looked on the faces of the years and their ears have hardened to the voices of Life. Even if their counsel is displeasing to you, pay heed to them.
Khalil Gibran
Every man is two men one is awake in the darkness, the other asleep in the light.
Khalil Gibran
The sorrowful spirit finds relaxation in solitude. It abhors people, as a wounded deer deserts the herd and lives in a cave until it is healed or dead.
Khalil Gibran
Beauty is that which attracts your soul, and that which loves to give and not to receive.
Khalil Gibran
Because the soul is like a flower that folds its petals when dark comes, and breathes not its fragrance into the phantoms of the night.
Khalil Gibran
Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping, For only the hand of God can contain your hearts.
Khalil Gibran
Faith is a knowledge within the heart, beyond the reach of proof.
Khalil Gibran
A fox looked at his shadow at sunrise and said, “I will have a camel for lunch today.” And all morning he went about looking for camels. But at noon he saw his shadow again-and he said, “A mouse will do.
Khalil Gibran
No lower can a man descend than to interpret his dreams into gold and silver.
Khalil Gibran
Extreme torture is mute, and so we sat silent, petrified, like columns of marble buried under the sand of an earthquake. Neither wished to listen to the other because our heart-threads had become weak and even breathing would have broken them.
Khalil Gibran
Real beauty lies in the spiritual accord that is called love which can exist between a man and a woman.
Khalil Gibran
