The lights of stars that were extinguished ages ago still reaches us. So it is with great men who died centuries ago, but still reach us with the radiations of their personalities.

Image
For truth and the spirit will abide with the morrow.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Who can separate his faith from his actions, or his belief from his occupations?
Khalil Gibran
Image
Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding. Even as the stone of the fruit must break, that its heart may stand in the sun, so must you know pain.
Khalil Gibran
Image
In the mouth of Society are many diseased teeth, decayed to the bones of the jaws. But Society makes no effort to have them extracted and be rid of the affliction. It contents itself with gold fillings.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Remember, one just man causes the Devil greater affliction than a million blind believers.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Cover me with soft earth, and let each handful be mixed With seeds ofjasmine, lilies, and myrtle and when they Grow above me and thrive on my body's element they will Breathe the fragrance of my heart into space.
Khalil Gibran
Image
For that which is boundless in you abides in the mansion of the sky, whose door is the morning mist, and whose windows are the songs and the silences of night.
Khalil Gibran
Image
I wash my hands of those who imagine chattering to be knowledge, silence to be ignorance, and affection to be art.
Khalil Gibran
Image
When love beckons to you, follow him, Though his ways are hard and steep. And when his wings enfold you yield to him, Though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Let your best be for your friend.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The creator gives no heed to the critic unless he becomes a barren inventor.
Khalil Gibran
Image
What is fear of need but need itself?
Khalil Gibran
Image
Love has the power that dispels death charm that conquers the enemy.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Many a doctrine is like a window pane. We see truth through it but it divides us from truth.
Khalil Gibran
Image
And what word is knowledge but a shadow of wordless knowledge?
Khalil Gibran
Image
Hearts united in pain and sorrow will not be separated by joy and happiness. Bonds that are woven in sadness are stronger than the ties of joy and pleasure. Love that is washed by tears will remain eternally pure and faithful.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The soul is an embryo in the body of Man, and the day of death is the Day of awakening, for it is the Great era of labour and the rich Hour of creation.
Khalil Gibran
Image
For a love to grow through the test of everyday living, one must respect that zone of privacy where one retires to relate to the inside instead of the outside.
Khalil Gibran
Image
For what is evil but good tortured by its own hunger and thirst?
Khalil Gibran
Image
You are persecuted and despised. It were better that a person should be the oppressed than that he should be the oppressor and fitter that he should be a victim to the frailty of human instincts than that he should be powerful and crush the flowers of life and disfigure the beauties of feeling with his desire.
Khalil Gibran
