More quotes by Khalil Gibran

Image
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
Image
Say not, 'I have found the truth,' but rather, 'I have found a truth.'
Khalil Gibran
Image
I discovered the secret of the sea in meditation upon a dewdrop.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Every beauty and greatness in this world is created by a single thought or emotion inside a man. Every thing we see today, made by past generations, was, before its appearance, a thought in the mind of a man or an impulse in the heart of a woman.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The heart's affections are divided like the branches of the cedar tree if the tree loses one strong branch it will suffer but it does not die it will pour all its vitality into the next branch so that it will grow and fill the empty place.
Khalil Gibran

Your body is the harp of the soul.

For what is evil but good tortured by its own hunger and thirst?

Between what is said and not meant, and what is meant and not said, most of love is lost.
Khalil Gibran
Image
We live only to discover beauty. All else is a form of waiting
Khalil Gibran
Image
It is only when you are pursued that you become swift.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Solitude has soft, silky hands, but with strong fingers it grasps the heart and makes it ache with sorrow.
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
My brothers, seek counsel of one another, for therein lies the way out of error and futile repentance. The wisdom of the many is your shield against tyranny. For when we turn to one another for counsel we reduce the number of our enemies.
Khalil Gibran
Image
A truly religious man does not embrace a religion and he who embraces one has no religion.
Khalil Gibran
Image
This for God and this for myself This for my soul, and this other for my body?
Khalil Gibran
Image
Beauty is life when life unveils her holy face.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Let me, O let me bathe my soul in colours let me swallow the sunset and drink the rainbow.
Khalil Gibran
Image
And when you have reached the mountain top, then you shall begin to climb.
