What is this world that is hastening me toward I know not what, viewing me with contempt?
Khalil Gibran
Image
If your knowledge teaches you not the value of things, and frees you not from the bondage to matter, you shall never come near the throne of Truth.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Like the seeds dreaming beneath the snow your heart dreams of spring.
Khalil Gibran

And if you would know God, be not therefore a solver of riddles. Rather look about you and you shall see Him playing with your children.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The truly good is he who is one with all those who are deemed bad.

Khalil Gibran
Image
Pity it is we drowse too soon Pity it is we fall asleep Ere our song encompass the height Ere our hand inherit the deep
Khalil Gibran
Image
Out of my deeper heart a bird rose and flew skywards. Higher and higher did it rise, yet larger and larger did it grow. At first it was but like a swallow, then a lark, then an eagle, then as vast as a spring cloud, and then it filled the starry heavens. Out of my heart a bird flew skywards. And it waxed larger as it flew. Yet it left not my heart.
Khalil Gibran
Image
If your heart is a volcano, how shall you expect flowers to bloom?
Khalil Gibran
Image
For in truth it is life that gives unto life-while you, who deem yourself a giver, are but a witness.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Sadness is but a wall between two gardens.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Even as the holy and the righteous cannot rise beyond the highest which is in each one of you, so the wicked and the weak cannot fall lower than the lowest which is in you also.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Love is the gentle smile upon the lips of beauty.
Khalil Gibran
