Image
Time has been transformed, and we have changed it has advanced and set us in motion it has unveiled its face, inspiring us with bewilderment and exhilaration.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Love is a magic ray emitted from the burning core of the soul and illuminating the surrounding earth. It enables us to perceive life as a beautiful dream between one awakening and another.
Khalil Gibran
Image
When you work you are a flute through whose heart the whispering of the hours turns to music. Which of you would be a reed, dumb and silent, when all else sings together in unison?
Khalil Gibran
Image
Rebellion without truth is like spring in a bleak, arid desert.
Khalil Gibran
Image
God has placed in each soul an apostle to lead us upon the illumined path. Yet many seek life from without, unaware that is within them.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Those to whom worshiping is a window, to open but also to shut, have not yet visited the house of their souls whose windows are open from dawn to dawn.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Say not, 'I have found the truth,' but rather, 'I have found a truth.' Say not, ' I have found the path of the soul.' Say rather, 'I have met the soul walking upon my path.' For the soul walks upon all paths. The soul walks not upon a line, neither does it grow like a reed. The soul unfolds itself, like a lotus of countless petals.
Khalil Gibran
Image
There are those who give little of the much which they have - and they give it for recognition and their hidden desire makes their gifts unwholesome.
Khalil Gibran
Image
You may give them your love, but not your thoughts. For they have their own thoughts.
Khalil Gibran
Image
...unless the exchange be in love and kindly justice, it will but lead some to greed and others to hunger.
Khalil Gibran
Image
He who loses his mother loses a pure soul who blesses and guards him constantly.
Khalil Gibran
Image
He who passes not his days in the realm of dreams is the slave of the days.
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
And that which sings and contemplates in you is still dwelling within the bounds of that first moment which scattered the stars into space.
Khalil Gibran
Image
If you reveal your secrets to the wind, you should not blame the wind for revealing them to the trees.
Khalil Gibran
Image
A word I want to see written on my grave: I am alive like you, and I am standing beside you. Close your eyes and look around, you will see me in front of you.
Khalil Gibran
Image
All men love you for themselves. I love you for yourself.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Remembrance is a form of meeting.
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
I want every image to be the beginning of an unseen image.
Khalil Gibran
