More quotes by Khalil Gibran
All you have shall some day be given. Therefore give now, that the season of giving may be yours and not your inheritors.
Khalil Gibran
Oh heart, if one should say to you that the soul perishes like the body, answer that the flower withers, but the seed remains.
Khalil Gibran
Your house is your larger body.
Khalil Gibran
Many of us spend our whole lives running from feeling with the mistaken belief that you can not bear the pain. But you have already borne the pain. What you have not done is feel all you are beyond that pain.
Khalil Gibran
I wash my hands of those who imagine chattering to be knowledge, silence to be ignorance, and affection to be art.
Khalil Gibran
The nearest to my heart are a king without a kingdom and a poor man who does not know how to beg.
Khalil Gibran
You have your ideology and I have mine.
Khalil Gibran
And ever has it been known that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation.
Khalil Gibran
My friend, I am not what I seem. Seeming is but a garment I wear — a care-woven garment that protects me from thy questionings and thee from my negligence. The I in me, my friend, dwells in the house of silence, and therein it shall remain for ever more, unperceived, unapproachable.
Khalil Gibran
Passionate love is a quenchless thirst.
Khalil Gibran
Life is not only merriment,It is desire and determination.
Khalil Gibran
Of time you would make a stream upon whose bank you would sit and watch its flowing. Yet the timeless in you is aware of life's timelessness, And knows that 'yesterday is but today's memory and tomorrow is today's dream.
Khalil Gibran
If you would behold the spirit of death, open your heart wide unto the body of life. For life and death are one, even as the river and sea are one.
Khalil Gibran
Let your bending in the Archer's hand be for gladness, for even as he loves the arrow that flies, so he loves also the bow that is stable.
Khalil Gibran
Those who give you a serpent when you ask for a fish, may have nothing but serpents to give.
Khalil Gibran
If you reveal your secrets to the wind, you should not blame the wind for revealing them to the trees.
Khalil Gibran
The longing for paradise is paradise itself.
Khalil Gibran
A hermit is one who renounces the world of fragments that he may enjoy the world wholly and without interruption.
Khalil Gibran
The lust for comfort, that stealthy thing that enters the house a guest, and then becomes a host, and then a master.
Khalil Gibran
I am one of those who believe that spiritual progress is a rule of human life, but the approach to perfection is slow and painful. If a woman elevates herself in one respect and is retarded in another, it is because the rough trail that leads to the mountain peak is not free of ambushes of thieves and lairs of wolves.
Khalil Gibran
