More quotes by Khalil Gibran
Thus with my lips have I denounced you, while my heart, bleeding within me, called you tender names.
Khalil Gibran
My God, my aim and my fulfillment I am thy yesterday and thou are my tomorrow. I am they root in the earth and thou art my flower in the sky, and together we grow before the face of the sun.
Khalil Gibran
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
Do not fear the thorns in your path, for they draw only corrupt blood.
Khalil Gibran
You would know the secret of death. But how shall you find it unless you seek it in the heart of life.
Khalil Gibran
In truth you owe naught to any man. You owe to all men.
Khalil Gibran
All that spirits desire, spirits attain.
Khalil Gibran
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
For what is evil but good tortured by its own hunger and thirst?
Khalil Gibran
Knowledge of the self is the mother of all knowledge. So it is incumbent on me to know my self, to know it completely, to know its minutiae, its characteristics, its subtleties, and its very atoms.
Khalil Gibran
Love descends upon our souls by the will of God and not by the demand or the plea of the individual.
Khalil Gibran
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
A root is a flower that disdains fame.
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
A truly religious man does not embrace a religion and he who embraces one has no religion.
Khalil Gibran
Much of your pain is self-chosen.
Khalil Gibran
You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.
Khalil Gibran
Let your best be for your friend.
Khalil Gibran
Beauty shall rise with the dawn from the east.
Khalil Gibran
What is this world that is hastening me toward I know not what, viewing me with contempt?
Khalil Gibran
