More quotes by Khalil Gibran
To belittle, you have to be little.
Khalil Gibran
Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding... And could you keep your heart in wonder at the daily miracles of your life, your pain would not seem less wondrous than your joy
Khalil Gibran
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
A traveller I am, and a navigator, and everyday I discover a new region within my soul.
Khalil Gibran
The truly great man is he who would master no one, and who would be mastered by none.
Khalil Gibran
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
You are persecuted and despised. It were better that a person should be the oppressed than that he should be the oppressor and fitter that he should be a victim to the frailty of human instincts than that he should be powerful and crush the flowers of life and disfigure the beauties of feeling with his desire.
Khalil Gibran
Let your home be you mast and not your anchor.
Khalil Gibran
Knowledge of the self is the mother of all knowledge. So it is incumbent on me to know my self, to know it completely, to know its minutiae, its characteristics, its subtleties, and its very atoms.
Khalil Gibran
A root is a flower that disdains fame.
Khalil Gibran
Make me, oh God, the prey of the Lion, ere you make the rabbit my prey
Khalil Gibran
Every beauty and greatness in this world is created by a single thought or emotion inside a man. Every thing we see today, made by past generations, was, before its appearance, a thought in the mind of a man or an impulse in the heart of a woman.
Khalil Gibran
Rebellion without truth is like spring in a bleak, arid desert.
Khalil Gibran
Your fear of death is but the trembling of the shepherd when he stands before the king whose hand is to be laid upon him in honour.
Khalil Gibran
To be able to look back upon ones life in satisfaction, is to live twice.
Khalil Gibran
Hell is not in torture Hell is in an empty heart.
Khalil Gibran
And what word is knowledge but a shadow of wordless knowledge?
Khalil Gibran
Your friend is your needs answered. He is your field which you sow with love and reap with thanksgiving. And he is your board and your fireside. For you come to him with your hunger, and you seek him for peace.
Khalil Gibran
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
They have exiled me now from their society and I am pleased, because humanity does not exile except the one whose noble spirit rebels against despotism and oppression. He who does not prefer exile to slavery is not free by any measure of freedom
