More quotes by Khalil Gibran
Of time you would make a stream upon whose bank you would sit and watch its flowing. Yet the timeless in you is aware of life's timelessness, And knows that 'yesterday is but today's memory and tomorrow is today's dream.
Khalil Gibran
For truth and the spirit will abide with the morrow.
Khalil Gibran
Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding.
Khalil Gibran
To be able to look back upon ones life in satisfaction, is to live twice.
Khalil Gibran
A root is a flower that disdains fame.
Khalil Gibran
I want every image to be the beginning of an unseen image.
Khalil Gibran

Khalil Gibran

Khalil Gibran
Your soul is oftentimes a battlefield, upon your reason and your judgment wage war against your passion and your appetite.

Khalil Gibran
God has made many doors opening into truth which He opens to all who knock upon them with hands of faith.
Khalil Gibran
If it's a despot you would dethrone, see first that his throne erected within you is destroyed.
Khalil Gibran
Inspiration will always sing inspiration will never explain.
Khalil Gibran
He who denies his heritage, has no heritage
Khalil Gibran
A man can be free without being great, but no man can be great without being free.
Khalil Gibran
When you look closely people are so strange & so complicated that they're actually beautiful.
Khalil Gibran
The longing for paradise is paradise itself.
Khalil Gibran
When I planted my pain in the field of patience it bore fruit of happiness.
Khalil Gibran
Tell your secret to the wind, but don't blame it for telling the trees.
Khalil Gibran
