How can I lose faith in the justice of life, when the dreams of those who sleep upon feathers are not more beautiful than the dreams of those who sleep upon the earth?
Khalil Gibran

The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain... When you are joyous look deep into your heart and you will find that it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy.
Khalil Gibran

Let there be spaces in your togetherness...just as strings of a lute dance alone though they quiver with the same music.
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
The saint and the sinner are twin brothers...one was born but the moment before the other.
Khalil Gibran
Image
And let the winds of the heavens dance between you.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Conscience is a just but weak judge. Weakness leaves it powerless to execute its judgment.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The optimist sees the rose and not its thorns the pessimist stares at the thorns, oblivious to the rose.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Doubt is a pain too lonely to know that faith is his twin brother.
Khalil Gibran
Image
For life and death are one, even as the river and the sea are one.
Khalil Gibran
