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

More quotes by Khalil Gibran
Which of you would be silent - when all else sings together in unison?
Khalil Gibran
Say not, I have found the path of the soul Say rather, I have met the soul walking upon my path.
Khalil Gibran
Enthusiasm is a volcano on whose top never grows the grass of hesitation.
Khalil Gibran
To judge you by your failures is to cast blame upon the seasons for their inconstancy.
Khalil Gibran
He is short-sighted who looks only on the path he treads and the wall on which he leans.
Khalil Gibran
He who passes not his days in the realm of dreams is the slave of the days.
Khalil Gibran
You progress not through what has been done, but reaching towards what has yet to be done.
Khalil Gibran
Every man is two men one is awake in the darkness, the other asleep in the light.
Khalil Gibran
I am one of those who believe that spiritual progress is a rule of human life, but the approach to perfection is slow and painful. If a woman elevates herself in one respect and is retarded in another, it is because the rough trail that leads to the mountain peak is not free of ambushes of thieves and lairs of wolves.
Khalil Gibran
All work is empty save when there is love.
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
Much of your pain is the bitter potion by which the physician within you heals your sick self.
Khalil Gibran
And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips.
Khalil Gibran
When you reach the heart of life you shall find beauty in all things, even in the eyes that are blind to beauty.
Khalil Gibran
Friendship with the ignorant is as foolish as arguing with a drunkard.
Khalil Gibran
A man can be free without being great, but no man can be great without being free.
Khalil Gibran
Extreme torture is mute, and so we sat silent, petrified, like columns of marble buried under the sand of an earthquake. Neither wished to listen to the other because our heart-threads had become weak and even breathing would have broken them.
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
Do not keep crying when your love has been gone. You only need Smile because he had been given you the opportunity to meet someone who is better.
Khalil Gibran
The teacher gives not of his wisdom, but rather of his faith and lovingness.
Khalil Gibran
