Then it is also in my heart to be worthy of your hate.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The only time a juggler / Appeals to me / Is when I see him / Miss the ball.
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
History does not repeat itself except in the minds of those who do not know history.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Say not, 'I have found the truth,' but rather, 'I have found a truth.'
Khalil Gibran
Image
Spiritual awakening is the most essential thing in man's life, and it is the sole purpose of being. Is not civilization, in all its tragic forms, a supreme motive for spiritual awakening?
Khalil Gibran
Image
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
Image
Poetry, my dear friends, is a sacred incarnation of a smile. Poetry is a sigh that dries the tears. Poetry is a spirit who dwells in the soul, whose nourishment is the heart, whose wine is affection. Poetry that comes not in this form is a false messiah.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Yea, death and prison we mete out To small offenders of the laws, While honor, wealth, and full respect On greater pirates we bestow. To steal a flower we call mean. To rob a field is chivalry Who kills the body he must die, Who kills the spirit he goes free.
Khalil Gibran
Image
When the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance.
Khalil Gibran
Image
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
Image
I discovered the secret of the sea in meditation upon a dewdrop.
Khalil Gibran
Image
If you love somebody, let them go, for if they return, they were always yours. And if they don't, they never were.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Is not the cup that holds your wine the very cup that was burned in the potter’s oven?
Khalil Gibran
Image
My Lebanon is a flock of birds fluttering in the early morning as shepherds lead their sheep into the meadow & rising in the evening as farmers return from their fields and vineyards.You have your Lebanon and its people. I have my Lebanon and its people.
Khalil Gibran
Image
They deem me mad because I will not sell my days for gold and I deem them mad because they think my days have a price.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The truly just is he who feels half guilty of your misdeeds.
Khalil Gibran
Image
All work is empty save when there is love.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving.
Khalil Gibran
Image
And forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.
Khalil Gibran
