Image
Let your home be you mast and not your anchor.
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
I once heard a learned man say, Every evil has its remedy, except folly. To reprimand an obstinate fool or to preach to a dolt is like writing upon the water. Christ healed the blind, the halt, the palsied, and the leprous. But the fool He could not cure.
Khalil Gibran
Image
There are those who give little of the much which they have - and they give it for recognition and their hidden desire makes their gifts unwholesome.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Then it is also in my heart to be worthy of your hate.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Between what is said and not meant, and what is meant and not said, most of love is lost.
Khalil Gibran
Image
If it were not for guests all houses would be graves.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Even as the holy and the righteous cannot rise beyond the highest which is in each one of you, so the wicked and the weak cannot fall lower than the lowest which is in you also.
Khalil Gibran
Image
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
Image
Fear of the devil is one way of doubting God.
Khalil Gibran
Image
From a sensitive woman's heart springs the happiness of mankind, and from the kindness of her noble spirit comes mankind's affection.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The truly good is he who is one with all those who are deemed bad.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The truly great man is he who would master no one, and who would be mastered by none.
Khalil Gibran
Image
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
Image
Who can separate his faith from his actions, or his belief from his occupations?
Khalil Gibran
Image
That which seems most feeble and bewildered in you is the strongest and most determined. Is it not your breath that has erected and hardened the structure of your bones?
Khalil Gibran
Image
For the vision of one man lends not its wings to another man.
Khalil Gibran
Image
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
Image
The tears that you spill, the sorrowful, are sweeter than the laughter of snobs and the guffaws of scoffers.
Khalil Gibran
Image
And only the sure of foot can give a hand to him who stumbles.
Khalil Gibran
