All can hear, but only the sensitive can understand.
Khalil Gibran
Image
If your knowledge teaches you not the value of things, and frees you not from the bondage to matter, you shall never come near the throne of Truth.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Faith is a knowledge within the heart, beyond the reach of proof.
Khalil Gibran
Image
A voice cannot carry the tongue and the lips that gave it wings. Alone must it seek the ether. And alone and without his nest shall the eagle fly across the sun.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The subtlest beauties in our life are unseen and unheard.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The only time a juggler / Appeals to me / Is when I see him / Miss the ball.
Khalil Gibran
Image
I sit between my brother the mountain and my sister the sea. We three are one in loneliness, and the love that binds us together is deep and strong and strange.
Khalil Gibran
Image
March on. Do not tarry. To go forward is to move toward perfection. March on, and fear not the thorns, or the sharp stones on life's path.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Marriage is like a golden ring in a chain, whose beginning is a glance and whose ending is eternity.
Khalil Gibran
Image
You are not enclosed within your bodies, nor confined to houses or fields. That which is you dwells above the mountain and roves with the wind.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The just is close to the people's heart, but the merciful is close to the heart of God.
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
Mother: the most beautiful word on the lips of mankind.
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
The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding... And could you keep your heart in wonder at the daily miracles of your life, your pain would not seem less wondrous than your joy
Khalil Gibran
Image
I am bored with gabbers and their gab my soul abhors them. . . . Is there any place where there is no traffic in empty talk? Is there on this earth one who does not worship himself talking?
Khalil Gibran
Image
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
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
Your reason and your passion are your rudder and sails of your seafaring soul, if either your sails or your rudder be broken, you can but toss and drift, or else be held at a standstill in mid-seas. For reason, ruling alone, is a force confining and passion, unattended, is a flame that burns to its own destruction.
Khalil Gibran
