Image
Trust in dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity.
Khalil Gibran
Image
And you receivers - and you are all receivers - assume no weight of gratitude, lest you lay a yoke upon yourself and upon him who gives. Rather rise together with the giver on his gifts as on wings For to be overmindful of your debt, is to doubt his generosity who has the free hearted earth for mother, and God for father.
Khalil Gibran
Image
All can hear, but only the sensitive can understand.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The eye of a human being is a microscope, which makes the world seem bigger than it really is.
Khalil Gibran
Image
When we turn to one another for counsel we reduce the number of our enemies.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Fear of the devil is one way of doubting God.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Listen to the women when she looks at you, not when she talks to you.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Jesus was not sent here to teach the people to build magnificent churches and temples amidst the cold wretched huts and dismal hovels. He came to make the human heart a temple, and the soul an altar, and the mind a priest.
Khalil Gibran
Image
And let the winds of the heavens dance between you.
Khalil Gibran
Image
In the depth of my soul there is a wordless song.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Disagreement may be the shortest cut between two minds.
Khalil Gibran
Image
My yearning is my cup, my burning thirst is my drink, and my solitude is my intoxication I do not and shall not quench my thirst. But in this burning that is never extinguished is a joy that never wanes.
Khalil Gibran
Image
There must be something strangely sacred about salt. It is in our tears and in the sea.
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
The nearest to my heart are a king without a kingdom and a poor man who does not know how to beg.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The subtlest beauties in our life are unseen and unheard.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The truly good is he who is one with all those who are deemed bad.
Khalil Gibran
Image
From a sensitive woman's heart springs the happiness of mankind, and from the kindness of her noble spirit comes mankind's affection.
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
Make me, oh God, the prey of the Lion, ere you make the rabbit my prey
Khalil Gibran
