Quote

When God created Man, he gave him Music as a language different from all other languages. And early man sang his glory in the wilderness and drew the hearts of kings and moved them from their thrones.

More quotes by Khalil Gibran

Image
I once heard a learned man say, Every evil has its remedy, except folly. To reprimand an obstinate fool or to preach to a dolt is like writing upon the water. Christ healed the blind, the halt, the palsied, and the leprous. But the fool He could not cure.
Khalil Gibran
Image
For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you. Even as he is for your growth so is he for your pruning. Even as he ascends to your height and caresses your tenderest branches that quiver in the sun, so shall he descend to your roots and shake them in their clinging to the earth.
Khalil Gibran
Image
If you sing of beauty though alone in the heart of the desert you will have an audience.
Khalil Gibran
Image
If your heart is a volcano, how shall you expect flowers to bloom?
Khalil Gibran
Image
To barter and lose is better than not to go forth.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Much of your pain is the bitter potion by which the physician within you heals your sick self.
Khalil Gibran
Image
It is wrong to think that love comes from long companionship and persevering courtship. Love is the offspring of spiritual affinity and unless that affinity is created in a moment, it will not be created for years or even generations.
Khalil Gibran
Image
He who repeats what he does not understand is no better than an ass that is loaded with books.
Khalil Gibran
Image
For if you bake bread with indifference, you bake a bitter bread that feeds but half man's hunger.
Khalil Gibran
Image
For what is prayer but the expansion of your self into the living ether?
Khalil Gibran
Image
Oh heart, if one should say to you that the soul perishes like the body, answer that the flower withers, but the seed remains.
Khalil Gibran
Image
There is a desire deep within the soul which drives man from the seen to the unseen, to philosophy and to the divine.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Marriage is like a golden ring in a chain, whose beginning is a glance and whose ending is eternity.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Only when you drink from the river of silence shall you indeed sing.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Poverty is a veil that obscures the face of greatness. An appeal is a mask covering the face of tribulation.
Khalil Gibran
Image
...unless the exchange be in love and kindly justice, it will but lead some to greed and others to hunger.
Khalil Gibran
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.

Let there be spaces in your togetherness

God made Truth with many doors to welcome every believer who knocks on them.

Birth and Death are the two noblest expressions of bravery.
