More quotes by 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
Of the good in you I can speak, but not of the evil. For what is evil but good tortured by its own hunger and thirst? Verily when good is hungry it seeks food even in dark caves, and when it thirsts it drinks even of dead waters.
Khalil Gibran
Only love and death will change all things.
Khalil Gibran
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
Inspiration will always sing inspiration will never explain.
Khalil Gibran
The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain... When you are joyous look deep into your heart and you will find that it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy.
Khalil Gibran
What difference is there between us, save a restless dream that follows my soul but fears to come near you?
Khalil Gibran
Sow a seed and the earth will yield you a flower. Dream your dream to the sky and it will bring you your beloved.
Khalil Gibran
Perplexity is the beginning of knowledge.
Khalil Gibran
Life is not only merriment,It is desire and determination.
Khalil Gibran
He who passes not his days in the realm of dreams is the slave of the days.
Khalil Gibran
Some of our children are our justifications and some are but our regrets
Khalil Gibran
Your house is your larger body.
Khalil Gibran
Love and doubt have never been on speaking terms.
Khalil Gibran
For what is it to die but to stand naked in the wind and to melt into the sun? And when the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance.
Khalil Gibran
For Reason, ruling alone, is a force confining and Passion, unattended, is a flame that burns to its own destruction.
Khalil Gibran
It has been said that next to hunger and thirst, our most basic human need is for storytelling.
Khalil Gibran
Many are the places of worship, but few indeed are those who worship in Spirit and in truth.
Khalil Gibran
Come with us to the field, or go with our brothers to the sea and cast your net. For the land and the sea shall be bountiful to you even as to us.
Khalil Gibran
Man struggles to find life outside himself, unaware that the life he is seeking is within him.
Khalil Gibran
