Quote

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.

Image
Let passion fill your sails, but let reason be your rudder.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Love one another, but make not a bond of love.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Wisdom stands at the turn in the road and calls upon us publicly, but we consider it false and despise its adherents.
Khalil Gibran
Image
You are your own forerunner, and the towers you have builded are but the foundation of your giant-self. And that self too shall be a foundation.
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
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
Image
We fear death, yet we long for slumber and beautiful dreams.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Remembrance is a form of meeting.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Those who give you a serpent when you ask for a fish, may have nothing but serpents to give.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The appearance of things changes according to the emotions and thus we see magic and beauty in them, while the magic and beauty are really in ourselves.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Why dispute what we shall be, when we know not even what we are.
Khalil Gibran
Image
I would tell you more of Him, but how shall I? When love becomes vast love becomes wordless. And when memory is overladen it seeks the silent deep.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Love that does not renew itself every day becomes a habit and in turn a slavery.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Tortoises can tell you more about the road than hares.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Love passes by us, robed in meekness but we flee from her in fear, or hide in the darkness or else pursue her, to do evil in her name.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The sorrowful spirit finds relaxation in solitude. It abhors people, as a wounded deer deserts the herd and lives in a cave until it is healed or dead.
Khalil Gibran
Image
You may strive to be like them but seek not to make them like you. For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
Khalil Gibran
Image
You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Where are you now, my beloved? Do you hear my weeping From beyond the ocean? Do you understand my need? Do you know the greatness of my patience?
Khalil Gibran
Image
Would that I were a dry well, and that the people tossed stones into me, for that would be easier than to be a spring of flowing water that the thirsty pass by, and from which they avoid drinking.
Khalil Gibran
