Quote

In the depth of my soul there is A wordless song - a song that lives In the seed of my heart. It refuses to melt with ink on Parchment it engulfs my affection In a transparent cloak and flows, But not upon my lips.

Image
And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Real beauty lies in the spiritual accord that is called love which can exist between a man and a woman.
Khalil Gibran
Image
I have found both freedom and safety in my madness the freedom of loneliness and the safety from being understood, for those who understand us enslave something in us.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Hearts united in pain and sorrow will not be separated by joy and happiness. Bonds that are woven in sadness are stronger than the ties of joy and pleasure. Love that is washed by tears will remain eternally pure and faithful.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Poverty is a veil that obscures the face of greatness. An appeal is a mask covering the face of tribulation.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Would that I were a dry well, and that the people tossed stones into me, for that would be easier than to be a spring of flowing water that the thirsty pass by, and from which they avoid drinking.
Khalil Gibran
Image
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
Image
There are those who give and know not pain in giving, nor do they seek joy, nor give with mindfulness of virtue They give as in yonder valley the myrtle breathes its fragrance into space.
Khalil Gibran
Image
For Reason, ruling alone, is a force confining and Passion, unattended, is a flame that burns to its own destruction.
Khalil Gibran
Image
And only the sure of foot can give a hand to him who stumbles.
Khalil Gibran
Image
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
Image
Many are the fools who say that Jesus stood in His own path and opposed Himself that He knew not His own mind, and in the absence of that knowledge confounded Himself.
Khalil Gibran
Image
I sit between my brother the mountain and my sister the sea. We three are one in loneliness, and the love that binds us together is deep and strong and strange.
Khalil Gibran
Image
For what is evil but good tortured by its own hunger and thirst?
Khalil Gibran
Image
Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself, but if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Zeal is a volcano, the peak of which the grass of indecisiveness does not grow.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Music is the language of the spirit. It opens the secret of life bringing peace, abolishing strife.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Coming generations will learn equality from poverty, and love from woes.
Khalil Gibran
Image
It was in my heart to help a little because I was helped much.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Only love and death will change all things.
Khalil Gibran
