Quote

You cannot lay remorse upon the innocent nor lift it from the heart of the guilty. Unbidden shall it call in the night, that men may wake and gaze upon themselves.

Image
When you part from your friend, you grieve not For that which you love most in him may be clearer in his absence, as the mountain to the climber is clearer from the plain.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain... When you are joyous look deep into your heart and you will find that it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy.
Khalil Gibran
Image
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
Image
There are those who give with joy, and that joy is their reward.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding.
Khalil Gibran
Image
You were born together, and together you shall be forevermore. You shall be together when the white wings of death scatter your days. Ay, you shall be together even in the silent memory of God. But let there be spaces in your togetherness, and let the winds of the heavens dance between you.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Every beauty and greatness in this world is created by a single thought or emotion inside a man. Every thing we see today, made by past generations, was, before its appearance, a thought in the mind of a man or an impulse in the heart of a woman.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Braving obstacles and hardships is nobler than retreat to tranquility. The butterfly that hovers around the lamp until it dies is more admirable than the mole that lives in a dark tunnel.
Khalil Gibran
Image
And all knowledge is vain save when there is work, and all work is empty save when there is love and when you work with love you bind yourself to yourself, and to one another, and to God.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Life is not only merriment,It is desire and determination.
Khalil Gibran
Image
I discovered the secret of the sea in meditation upon a dewdrop.
Khalil Gibran
Image
You may strive to be like them but seek not to make them like you. For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Do not keep crying when your love has been gone. You only need Smile because he had been given you the opportunity to meet someone who is better.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The best of man is he who blushes when you praise him and remains silent when you defame him.
Khalil Gibran
Image
You may chain my hands, you may shackle my feet you may even throw me into a dark prison but you shall not enslave my thinking, because it is free!
Khalil Gibran
Image
He who passes not his days in the realm of dreams is the slave of the days.
Khalil Gibran
Image
And is not the lute that soothes your spirit the very wood that was hollowed with knives?
Khalil Gibran
Image
For the vision of one man lends not its wings to another man.
Khalil Gibran
Image
A hermit is one who renounces the world of fragments that he may enjoy the world wholly and without interruption.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Pity it is we drowse too soon Pity it is we fall asleep Ere our song encompass the height Ere our hand inherit the deep
