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?

More quotes by 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
The poet is a bird of strange moods. He descends from his lofty domain to tarry among us, singing if we do not honor him he will unfold his wings and fly back to his dwelling place.
Khalil Gibran
You often say, I would give, but only to the deserving. The trees in your orchard say not so, nor the flocks in your pasture. They give that they may live, for to withhold is to perish.
Khalil Gibran
I wash my hands of those who imagine chattering to be knowledge, silence to be ignorance, and affection to be art.
Khalil Gibran
A look which reveals inward stress adds more beauty to the face, no matter how much tragedy and pain it bespeaks but the face which, in silence, does not announce hidden mysteries is not beautiful, regardless of the symmetry of its features.
Khalil Gibran
Most people who ask for advice from others have already resolved to act as it pleases them.
Khalil Gibran
Cover me with soft earth, and let each handful be mixed With seeds ofjasmine, lilies, and myrtle and when they Grow above me and thrive on my body's element they will Breathe the fragrance of my heart into space.
Khalil Gibran
Your house is your larger body.
Khalil Gibran
To barter and lose is better than not to go forth.
Khalil Gibran
Real beauty lies in the spiritual accord that is called love which can exist between a man and a woman.
Khalil Gibran
Life without Liberty is like a body without spirit. Liberty without thought is like a disturbed spirit.
Khalil Gibran
The truly just is he who feels half guilty of your misdeeds.
Khalil Gibran
If you sing of beauty though alone in the heart of the desert you will have an audience.
Khalil Gibran
Love... it surrounds every being and extends slowly to embrace all that shall be.
Khalil Gibran
History does not repeat itself except in the minds of those who do not know history.
Khalil Gibran
Your reason and your passion are your rudder and sails of your seafaring soul, if either your sails or your rudder be broken, you can but toss and drift, or else be held at a standstill in mid-seas. For reason, ruling alone, is a force confining and passion, unattended, is a flame that burns to its own destruction.
Khalil Gibran
The truly good is he who is one with all those who are deemed bad.
Khalil Gibran
Would that I were a dry well, and that the people tossed stones into me, for that would be easier than to be a spring of flowing water that the thirsty pass by, and from which they avoid drinking.
Khalil Gibran
The teacher gives not of his wisdom, but rather of his faith and lovingness.
Khalil Gibran
I learnt silence from the talkative
Khalil Gibran
