More quotes by Khalil Gibran
Some of our children are our justifications and some are but our regrets
Khalil Gibran
Is not the cup that holds your wine the very cup that was burned in the potter’s oven?
Khalil Gibran
The earth is like a beautiful bride who needs no manmade jewels to heighten her loveliness.
Khalil Gibran
Love prides itself not only in the one who loves, but also in the beloved.
Khalil Gibran
Doubt is a pain too lonely to know that faith is his twin brother.
Khalil Gibran
Generosity is not giving me that which I need more than you do, but it is giving me that which you need more than I do.
Khalil Gibran
Doubt is a pain too lonely to know that faith is his twin brother. Doubt is a foundling unhappy and astray, and though his own mother who gave him birth should find him and enfold him, he would withdraw in caution and in fear.
Khalil Gibran
Should we all confess our sins to one another we would all laugh at one another for our lack of originality
Khalil Gibran
When the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance.
Khalil Gibran
If you reveal your secrets to the wind, you should not blame the wind for revealing them to the trees.
Khalil Gibran
Death most resembles a prophet who is without honor in his own land or a poet who is a stranger among his people.
Khalil Gibran
I would tell you more of Him, but how shall I? When love becomes vast love becomes wordless. And when memory is overladen it seeks the silent deep.
Khalil Gibran
The poet is a bird of strange moods. He descends from his lofty domain to tarry among us, singing if we do not honor him he will unfold his wings and fly back to his dwelling place.
Khalil Gibran
Only love and death will change all things.
Khalil Gibran
The sun teaches to all things that grow their longing for the light. But it is night that raises them to the stars.
Khalil Gibran
If you would behold the spirit of death, open your heart wide unto the body of life. For life and death are one, even as the river and sea are one.
Khalil Gibran
Your friend is your field which you sow with love and reap with thanksgiving.
Khalil Gibran
It was in my heart to help a little because I was helped much.
Khalil Gibran
A shy failure is nobler than an immodest success.
Khalil Gibran
Why dispute what we shall be, when we know not even what we are.
Khalil Gibran
