Quote

Even as the holy and the righteous cannot rise beyond the highest which is in each one of you, so the wicked and the weak cannot fall lower than the lowest which is in you also.

Image
A God who is good knows no segregation amongst words or names. And were a God to deny his blessing to those who pursue a different path to eternity, there would be no human who should offer worship.
Khalil Gibran
Image
It was but yesterday I thought myself a fragment quivering without rhythm in the sphere of life. Now I know that I am the sphere, and all life in rhythmic fragments moves within me.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Take then this Book, look into it, and show me when Jesus was not forgiving. Read this diving tragedy and tell me where He speaks without mercy and compassion. You visit not the sick and the imprisoned nor do you feed the hungry or give refuge to the stranger or comfort to the mourner.
Khalil Gibran
Image
But let there be spaces in your togetherness and let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Darkness is dawn not yet born.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Let passion fill your sails, but let reason be your rudder.
Khalil Gibran
Image
You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth./The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far.
Khalil Gibran
Image
When you love you should not think you can direct the course of love, for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course.
Khalil Gibran
Image
A root is a flower that disdains fame.
Khalil Gibran
Image
There are those who give and know not pain in giving, nor do they seek joy, nor give with mindfulness of virtue They give as in yonder valley the myrtle breathes its fragrance into space.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Those to whom worshiping is a window, to open but also to shut, have not yet visited the house of their souls whose windows are open from dawn to dawn.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Then it is also in my heart to be worthy of your hate.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The eye of a human being is a microscope, which makes the world seem bigger than it really is.
Khalil Gibran
Image
And you receivers - and you are all receivers - assume no weight of gratitude, lest you lay a yoke upon yourself and upon him who gives. Rather rise together with the giver on his gifts as on wings For to be overmindful of your debt, is to doubt his generosity who has the free hearted earth for mother, and God for father.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Let there be spaces in your togetherness...just as strings of a lute dance alone though they quiver with the same music.
Khalil Gibran
Image
In one drop of water are found all the secrets of all the oceans in one aspect of You are found all the aspects of existence.
Khalil Gibran
Image
You may give them your love but not your thoughts, for they have their own thoughts. You may house their bodies but not their souls, for their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Remembrance is a form of meeting.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Coming generations will learn equality from poverty, and love from woes.
Khalil Gibran
Image
You are far, far greater than you know - and all is well.
Khalil Gibran
