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
Music is the language of the spirit. It opens the secret of life bringing peace, abolishing strife.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Like the seeds dreaming beneath the snow your heart dreams of spring.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Poetry, my dear friends, is a sacred incarnation of a smile. Poetry is a sigh that dries the tears. Poetry is a spirit who dwells in the soul, whose nourishment is the heart, whose wine is affection. Poetry that comes not in this form is a false messiah.
Khalil Gibran
Image
In one drop of water are found all the secrets of all the oceans in one aspect of You are found all the aspects of existence.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The tiny flame that lights up the human heart is like a blazing torch that comes down from heaven to light up the paths of mankind. For in one soul are contained the hopes and feelings of all Mankind.
Khalil Gibran
Image
And ever has it been known that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The truly good is he who is one with all those who are deemed bad.
Khalil Gibran
Image
You have been told that, even like a chain, you are as weak as your weakest link. This is but half the truth. You are also as strong as your strongest link. To measure you by your smallest deed is to reckon the power of ocean by the frailty of its foam. To judge you by your failures is to cast blame upon the seasons for their inconstancy.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The tears that you spill, the sorrowful, are sweeter than the laughter of snobs and the guffaws of scoffers.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Which of you would be silent - when all else sings together in unison?
Khalil Gibran
Image
Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.
Khalil Gibran
Image
A woman whom Providence has provided with beauty of spirit and body is a truth, at the same time both open and secret, which we can understand only by love, and touch only by virtue.
Khalil Gibran
Image
And if there come the singers, and the dancers and the flute players - buy of their gifts also. For they too are gatherers of fruit and frankincense, and that which they bring, though fashioned of dreams, is raiment and fod for your soul.
Khalil Gibran
Image
I wash my hands of those who imagine chattering to be knowledge, silence to be ignorance, and affection to be art.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Would that I could be the peacemaker in your soul, that I might turn the discord and the rivalry of your elements into oneness and melody.
Khalil Gibran
Image
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
Image
Darkness is dawn not yet born.
Khalil Gibran
Image
When we turn to one another for counsel we reduce the number of our enemies.
Khalil Gibran
Image
if you cannot but weep when your soul summons you to prayer, she should spur you again and yet again, though weeping, until you shall come laughing
Khalil Gibran
