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.

More quotes by Khalil Gibran
Passionate love is a quenchless thirst.
Khalil Gibran
Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself, but if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires.
Khalil Gibran
Spiritual awakening is the most essential thing in man's life, and it is the sole purpose of being. Is not civilization, in all its tragic forms, a supreme motive for spiritual awakening?
Khalil Gibran
We fear death, yet we long for slumber and beautiful dreams.
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
Thus with my lips have I denounced you, while my heart, bleeding within me, called you tender names.
Khalil Gibran
Work is love made visable.
Khalil Gibran
Love... it surrounds every being and extends slowly to embrace all that shall be.
Khalil Gibran
Life without love is like a tree without blossoms or fruit.
Khalil Gibran
When we turn to one another for counsel we reduce the number of our enemies.
Khalil Gibran
True love cannot be found where it truly does not exist, Nor can it be hidden where it truly does. Anonymous Love possesses not nor would it be possessed For love is sufficient unto love.
Khalil Gibran
Learn the words of wisdom uttered by the wise and apply them in your own life. Live them - but do not a make a show of reciting them, for he who repeats what he does not understand is no better than an ass loaded with books.
Khalil Gibran
There are those who give with joy, and that joy is their reward.
Khalil Gibran
Love prides itself not only in the one who loves, but also in the beloved.
Khalil Gibran
What of the old serpent who cannot shed his skin, and calls all others naked and shameless?
Khalil Gibran
Your house is your larger body.
Khalil Gibran
Love is the only flower that grows and blossoms without the aid of the seasons
Khalil Gibran
What the soul knows is often unknown to the man who has a soul. We are infinitely more than we think.
Khalil Gibran
God has placed in each soul an apostle to lead us upon the illumined path. Yet many seek life from without, unaware that is within them.
Khalil Gibran
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
