More quotes by Khalil Gibran
Who are you that men should rend their bosom and unveil their pride, that you may see their worth naked and their pride unabashed? See first that you yourself deserve to be a giver, and an instrument of giving.
Khalil Gibran
Of time you would make a stream upon whose bank you would sit and watch its flowing. Yet the timeless in you is aware of life's timelessness, And knows that 'yesterday is but today's memory and tomorrow is today's dream.
Khalil Gibran
He who passes not his days in the realm of dreams is the slave of the days.
Khalil Gibran
Mother: the most beautiful word on the lips of mankind.
Khalil Gibran
For what is it to die but to stand naked in the wind and to melt into the sun? And when the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance.
Khalil Gibran
Because the soul is like a flower that folds its petals when dark comes, and breathes not its fragrance into the phantoms of the night.
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
And forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.
Khalil Gibran
You may chain my hands, you may shackle my feet you may even throw me into a dark prison but you shall not enslave my thinking, because it is free!
Khalil Gibran
A teacher can only lead you to the threshold of your own mind.
Khalil Gibran
For in truth it is life that gives unto life-while you, who deem yourself a giver, are but a witness.
Khalil Gibran
Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping, For only the hand of God can contain your hearts.
Khalil Gibran
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
Inspiration is in seeing a part of the whole with the part of the whole in you.
Khalil Gibran
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
A look which reveals inward stress adds more beauty to the face, no matter how much tragedy and pain it bespeaks but the face which, in silence, does not announce hidden mysteries is not beautiful, regardless of the symmetry of its features.
Khalil Gibran
Is not the beautiful moon, that inspires poets, the same moon which angers the silence of the sea with a terrible roar?
Khalil Gibran
You have your ideology and I have mine.
Khalil Gibran
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
A minute moving among the patterns of beauty and the dreams of love is greater and more precious than an age filled with splendor granted by the weak to the strong.
Khalil Gibran
