More quotes by Khalil Gibran
Friendship with the ignorant is as foolish as arguing with a drunkard.
Khalil Gibran
Coming generations will learn equality from poverty, and love from woes.
Khalil Gibran
The veil that clouds your eyes shall be lifted by the hands that wove it.
Khalil Gibran
To be able to look back upon ones life in satisfaction, is to live twice.
Khalil Gibran
The truly good is he who is one with all those who are deemed bad.
Khalil Gibran
Hell is not in torture Hell is in an empty heart.
Khalil Gibran
Should we all confess our sins to one another we would all laugh at one another for our lack of originality
Khalil Gibran
Remember that Divinity is the true self of Man. It cannot be sold for gold neither can it be heaped up as are the riches of the world today. The rich man has cast off his Divinity, and has clung to his gold. And the young today have forsaken their Divinity and pursue self-indulgence and pleasure.
Khalil Gibran
No lower can a man descend than to interpret his dreams into gold and silver.
Khalil Gibran
Love is the gentle smile upon the lips of beauty.
Khalil Gibran
He who denies his heritage, has no heritage
Khalil Gibran
A minute moving among the patterns of beauty and the dreams of love is greater and more precious than an age filled with splendor granted by the weak to the strong.
Khalil Gibran
He was gentle, like a man mindful of his own strength. In my dreams I beheld the kings of the earth standing in awe in His presence.
Khalil Gibran
Wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving.
Khalil Gibran
You are far, far greater than you know - and all is well.
Khalil Gibran
To judge you by your failures is to cast blame upon the seasons for their inconstancy.
Khalil Gibran
I existed from all eternity and, behold, I am here and I shall exist till the end of time, for my being has no end.
Khalil Gibran
But memory is an autumn leaf that murmurs a while in the wind and then is heard no more.
Khalil Gibran
The feelings we live through in love and in loneliness are simply, for us, what high tide and low tide are to the sea.
Khalil Gibran
When you work you are a flute through whose heart the whispering of the hours turns to music. Which of you would be a reed, dumb and silent, when all else sings together in unison?
Khalil Gibran
