More quotes by Khalil Gibran

Image
He was gentle, like a man mindful of his own strength. In my dreams I beheld the kings of the earth standing in awe in His presence.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Say not, 'I have found the truth,' but rather, 'I have found a truth.' Say not, ' I have found the path of the soul.' Say rather, 'I have met the soul walking upon my path.' For the soul walks upon all paths. The soul walks not upon a line, neither does it grow like a reed. The soul unfolds itself, like a lotus of countless petals.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Every beauty and greatness in this world is created by a single thought or emotion inside a man. Every thing we see today, made by past generations, was, before its appearance, a thought in the mind of a man or an impulse in the heart of a woman.
Khalil Gibran
Image
A friend who is far away is sometimes much nearer than one who is at hand. Is not the mountain far more awe-inspiring and more clearly visible to one passing through the valley than to those who inhabit the mountain?
Khalil Gibran
Image
Much of your pain is the bitter potion by which the physician within you heals your sick self.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The best of man is he who blushes when you praise him and remains silent when you defame him.
Khalil Gibran
Image
You have your ideology and I have mine.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Love is the only freedom in the world because it so elevates the spirit that the laws of humanity and the phenomena of nature do not alter its course.
Khalil Gibran
Image
They deem me mad because I will not sell my days for gold and I deem them mad because they think my days have a price.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The lust for comfort, that stealthy thing that enters the house a guest, and then becomes a host, and then a master.
Khalil Gibran
Image
A word I want to see written on my grave: I am alive like you, and I am standing beside you. Close your eyes and look around, you will see me in front of you.
Khalil Gibran
Image
It is only when you are pursued that you become swift.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Between the shores of the oceans and the summit of the highest mountain is a secret route that you must absolutely take before being one with the sons of the Earth.
Khalil Gibran
Image
For thought is a bird of space, that in a cage of words may indeed unfold its wings but cannot fly.
Khalil Gibran
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Life is but a sleep disturbed by dreaming, prompted by the will the saddened soul with sadness hides it's secrets, and the gay, with thrill.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Let there be spaces in your togetherness
Khalil Gibran
Image
Listen to the women when she looks at you, not when she talks to you.
Khalil Gibran
Image
In the depth of your hopes and desires lies your silent knowledge of the beyond.
Khalil Gibran
