More quotes by Khalil Gibran
A poet is a bird of unearthly excellence, who escapes from his celestial realm arrives in this world warbling. If we do not cherish him, he spreads his wings and flies back into his homeland.
Khalil Gibran
God made Truth with many doors to welcome every believer who knocks on them.
Khalil Gibran
We wanderers, ever seeking the lonelier way, begin no day where we have ended another day and no sunrise finds us where sunset left us.
Khalil Gibran
Beauty shall rise with the dawn from the east.
Khalil Gibran
In the mouth of Society are many diseased teeth, decayed to the bones of the jaws. But Society makes no effort to have them extracted and be rid of the affliction. It contents itself with gold fillings.
Khalil Gibran
You would measure time the measureless and the immeasurable. You would adjust your conduct and even direct the course of your spirit according to hours and seasons. Of time you would make a stream upon whose bank you would sit and watch its flowing.
Khalil Gibran
The veil that clouds your eyes shall be lifted by the hands that wove it.
Khalil Gibran
Who are you that men should rend their bosom and unveil their pride, that you may see their worth naked and their pride unabashed? See first that you yourself deserve to be a giver, and an instrument of giving.
Khalil Gibran
From a sensitive woman's heart springs the happiness of mankind, and from the kindness of her noble spirit comes mankind's affection.
Khalil Gibran
You are far, far greater than you know - and all is well.
Khalil Gibran
Doubt is a pain too lonely to know that faith is his twin brother.
Khalil Gibran
Your friend is your needs answered. He is your field which you sow with love and reap with thanksgiving. And he is your board and your fireside. For you come to him with your hunger, and you seek him for peace.
Khalil Gibran
I have found both freedom and safety in my madness the freedom of loneliness and the safety from being understood, for those who understand us enslave something in us.
Khalil Gibran
The truly just is he who feels half guilty of your misdeeds.
Khalil Gibran
A voice cannot carry the tongue and the lips that gave it wings. Alone must it seek the ether. And alone and without his nest shall the eagle fly across the sun.
Khalil Gibran
Perhaps time’s definition of coal is the diamond.
Khalil Gibran
Tortoises can tell you more about the road than hares.
Khalil Gibran
I discovered the secret of the sea in meditation upon a dewdrop.
Khalil Gibran
But let there be spaces in your togetherness and let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.
Khalil Gibran
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.
