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
The most solid stone in the structure is the lowest one in the foundation.
Khalil Gibran

The truly just is he who feels half guilty of your misdeeds.

Love that does not renew itself every day becomes a habit and in turn a slavery.
Khalil Gibran
Image
In the depth of your hopes and desires lies your silent knowledge of the beyond.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving.

Love is a magic ray emitted from the burning core of the soul and illuminating the surrounding earth. It enables us to perceive life as a beautiful dream between one awakening and another.
Khalil Gibran
Image
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

We fear death, yet we long for slumber and beautiful dreams.
Khalil Gibran
Image
if you cannot but weep when your soul summons you to prayer, she should spur you again and yet again, though weeping, until you shall come laughing
Khalil Gibran
Image
And some of your elders remember pleasures with regret like wrongs committed in drunkenness. But regret is the beclouding of the mind and not its chastisement. They should remember their pleasures with gratitude, as they would the harvest of a summer.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Wisdom stands at the turn in the road and calls upon us publicly, but we consider it false and despise its adherents.
Khalil Gibran
Image
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
Image
Poetry is not the opinion stated. It is a song that appears instead of a bloody wound or a smiling mouth.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Trust in dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Your friend is your needs answered.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Strange that we all defend our wrongs with more vigor than we do our rights.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Coming generations will learn equality from poverty, and love from woes.
Khalil Gibran
