Image
Love one another, but make not a bond of love.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Seek ye counsel of the aged for their eyes have looked on the faces of the years and their ears have hardened to the voices of Life. Even if their counsel is displeasing to you, pay heed to them.
Khalil Gibran
Image
He who loses his mother loses a pure soul who blesses and guards him constantly.
Khalil Gibran
Image
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
Image
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
Image
And ever has it been known that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation.
Khalil Gibran
Image
You may give them your love, but not your thoughts. For they have their own thoughts.
Khalil Gibran
Image
When we oppose the hidden conscience, it does us hurt. When we betray it, it judges us.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Marriage is like a golden ring in a chain, whose beginning is a glance and whose ending is eternity.
Khalil Gibran
Image
You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The smallest act of kindness is worth more than the greatest intention.
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
The tiny flame that lights up the human heart is like a blazing torch that comes down from heaven to light up the paths of mankind. For in one soul are contained the hopes and feelings of all Mankind.
Khalil Gibran
Image
There is a desire deep within the soul which drives man from the seen to the unseen, to philosophy and to the divine.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Braving obstacles and hardships is nobler than retreat to tranquility. The butterfly that hovers around the lamp until it dies is more admirable than the mole that lives in a dark tunnel.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The thirst of soul is sweeter than the wine of material things, and the fear of spirit is dearer than the security of the body.
Khalil Gibran
Image
It is wrong to think that love comes from long companionship and persevering courtship. Love is the offspring of spiritual affinity and unless that affinity is created in a moment, it will not be created for years or even generations.
Khalil Gibran
Image
There must be something strangely sacred about salt. It is in our tears and in the sea.
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
Only love and death will change all things.
Khalil Gibran
