You may give them your love but not your thoughts, for they have their own thoughts. You may house their bodies but not their souls, for their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
Khalil Gibran

More quotes by Khalil Gibran
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
you can muffle the drum, and you can loosen the strings of the lyre, but who shall command the skylark not to sing?
Khalil Gibran
The strong grows in solitude where the weak withers away.
Khalil Gibran
Death most resembles a prophet who is without honor in his own land or a poet who is a stranger among his people.
Khalil Gibran
Is not the cup that holds your wine the very cup that was burned in the potter’s oven?
Khalil Gibran
He who denies his heritage, has no heritage
Khalil Gibran
You talk when you cease to be at peace with your thoughts.
Khalil Gibran
If it's a despot you would dethrone, see first that his throne erected within you is destroyed.
Khalil Gibran
Inspiration will always sing inspiration will never explain.
Khalil Gibran
Doubt is a pain too lonely to know that faith is his twin brother. Doubt is a foundling unhappy and astray, and though his own mother who gave him birth should find him and enfold him, he would withdraw in caution and in fear.
Khalil Gibran
There are those who give with joy, and that joy is their reward.
Khalil Gibran
And ever has it been known that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation.
Khalil Gibran
Listen to the women when she looks at you, not when she talks to you.
Khalil Gibran
What is fear of need but need itself?
Khalil Gibran
Say not, 'I have found the truth,' but rather, 'I have found a truth.'
Khalil Gibran
joy and sorrow are inseparable. . . together they come and when one sits alone with you . . remember that the other is asleep upon your bed.
Khalil Gibran
Love... it surrounds every being and extends slowly to embrace all that shall be.
Khalil Gibran
Those who give you a serpent when you ask for a fish, may have nothing but serpents to give.
Khalil Gibran
When a man's hand touches the hand of a woman, they both touch the heart of eternity.
Khalil Gibran
He is short-sighted who looks only on the path he treads and the wall on which he leans.
Khalil Gibran
