Khalil Gibran
Image
The truly just is he who feels half guilty of your misdeeds.
Khalil Gibran

Love one another, but make not a bond of love.
Khalil Gibran
Image
You may chain my hands, you may shackle my feet you may even throw me into a dark prison but you shall not enslave my thinking, because it is free!
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
Only when you drink from the river of silence shall you indeed sing.
Khalil Gibran
Image
As the strings of a lute are apart though they quiver the same music.
Khalil Gibran
