More quotes by Khalil Gibran
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
For if you bake bread with indifference, you bake a bitter bread that feeds but half man's hunger.
Khalil Gibran
When life does not find a singer to sing her heart she produces a philosopher to speak her mind.
Khalil Gibran
Come with us to the field, or go with our brothers to the sea and cast your net. For the land and the sea shall be bountiful to you even as to us.
Khalil Gibran
You have been told that, even like a chain, you are as weak as your weakest link. This is but half the truth. You are also as strong as your strongest link. To measure you by your smallest deed is to reckon the power of ocean by the frailty of its foam. To judge you by your failures is to cast blame upon the seasons for their inconstancy.
Khalil Gibran
The smallest act of kindness is worth more than the greatest intention.
Khalil Gibran
You would measure time the measureless and the immeasurable. You would adjust your conduct and even direct the course of your spirit according to hours and seasons. Of time you would make a stream upon whose bank you would sit and watch its flowing.
Khalil Gibran
I learnt silence from the talkative
Khalil Gibran
The creator gives no heed to the critic unless he becomes a barren inventor.
Khalil Gibran
Nature reaches out to us with welcoming arms, and bids us enjoy her beauty but we dread her silence and rush into the crowded cities, there to huddle like sheep fleeing from a ferocious wolf.
Khalil Gibran
For what is prayer but the expansion of your self into the living ether?
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
You may give them your love, but not your thoughts. For they have their own thoughts.
Khalil Gibran
When God created Man, he gave him Music as a language different from all other languages. And early man sang his glory in the wilderness and drew the hearts of kings and moved them from their thrones.
Khalil Gibran
Love is the only freedom in the world because it so elevates the spirit that the laws of humanity and the phenomena of nature do not alter its course.
Khalil Gibran
A poet is a bird of unearthly excellence, who escapes from his celestial realm arrives in this world warbling. If we do not cherish him, he spreads his wings and flies back into his homeland.
Khalil Gibran
What difference is there between us, save a restless dream that follows my soul but fears to come near you?
Khalil Gibran
The wolves prey upon the lambs in the darkness of the night, but the blood stains remain upon the stones in the valley until the dawn comes, and the sun reveals the crime to all.
Khalil Gibran
Your house is your larger body.
Khalil Gibran
The teacher gives not of his wisdom, but rather of his faith and lovingness.
Khalil Gibran
