For life and death are one, even as the river and the sea are one.
Khalil Gibran
Image
To belittle, you have to be little.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Your house is your larger body. It grows in the sun and sleeps in the stillness of the night and it is not dreamless. Does not your house dream, and dreaming, leave the city for grove or hilltop?
Khalil Gibran
Image
You may give them your love but not your thoughts, for they have their own thoughts. You may house their bodies but not their souls, for their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The earth is like a beautiful bride who needs no manmade jewels to heighten her loveliness.
Khalil Gibran
Image
you can muffle the drum, and you can loosen the strings of the lyre, but who shall command the skylark not to sing?
Khalil Gibran
Image
And when you were a silent word upon Life's quivering lips, I too was there, another silent word. Then life uttered us and we came down the years throbbing with memories of yesterday and with longing for tomorrow, for yesterday was death conquered and tomorrow was birth pursued.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Those who give you a serpent when you ask for a fish, may have nothing but serpents to give.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Hell is not in torture Hell is in an empty heart.
Khalil Gibran
Image
You talk when you cease to be at peace with your thoughts.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Follow your heart. Your heart is the right guide in everything big. Mine is so limited. What you want to do is determined by that divine element that is in each of us.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The wolves prey upon the lambs in the darkness of the night, but the blood stains remain upon the stones in the valley until the dawn comes, and the sun reveals the crime to all.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Let passion fill your sails, but let reason be your rudder.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The subtlest beauties in our life are unseen and unheard.
Khalil Gibran
Image
You talk when you cease to be at peace with your thoughts And when you can no longer dwell in the solitude of your heart you live in your lips, and sound is a diversion and a pastime. And in much of your talking, thinking is half murdered.
Khalil Gibran
Image
They tell me: If you see a slave sleeping, do not wake him lest he be dreaming of freedom. I tell them: If you see a slave sleeping, wake him and explain to him freedom.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Love one another, but make not a bond of love.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Like the seeds dreaming beneath the snow your heart dreams of spring.
Khalil Gibran
Image
And all knowledge is vain save when there is work, and all work is empty save when there is love and when you work with love you bind yourself to yourself, and to one another, and to God.
Khalil Gibran
