I learnt silence from the talkative
Khalil Gibran
Image
For if you bake bread with indifference, you bake a bitter bread that feeds but half man's hunger.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The truly great man is he who would master no one, and who would be mastered by none.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Death most resembles a prophet who is without honor in his own land or a poet who is a stranger among his people.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Life without love is like a tree without blossoms or fruit.
Khalil Gibran
Image
You were born together, and together you shall be forevermore. You shall be together when the white wings of death scatter your days. Ay, you shall be together even in the silent memory of God. But let there be spaces in your togetherness, and let the winds of the heavens dance between you.
Khalil Gibran
Image
March on. Do not tarry. To go forward is to move toward perfection. March on, and fear not the thorns, or the sharp stones on life's path.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Yea, death and prison we mete out To small offenders of the laws, While honor, wealth, and full respect On greater pirates we bestow. To steal a flower we call mean. To rob a field is chivalry Who kills the body he must die, Who kills the spirit he goes free.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Let passion fill your sails, but let reason be your rudder.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Yesterday is but today's memory, and tomorrow is today's dream.
Khalil Gibran
Image
I existed from all eternity and, behold, I am here and I shall exist till the end of time, for my being has no end.
Khalil Gibran
Image
When we turn to one another for counsel we reduce the number of our enemies.
Khalil Gibran
Image
And as a single leaf turns not yellow but with the silent knowledge of the whole tree.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Generosity is not giving me that which I need more than you do, but it is giving me that which you need more than I do.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Trickery succeeds sometimes, but it always commits suicide.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Take then this Book, look into it, and show me when Jesus was not forgiving. Read this diving tragedy and tell me where He speaks without mercy and compassion. You visit not the sick and the imprisoned nor do you feed the hungry or give refuge to the stranger or comfort to the mourner.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Lovers embrace that which is between them rather than each other.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Wit is often a mask. If you tear it you will find either genius irritated or cleverness juggling.
Khalil Gibran
Image
That which seems most feeble and bewildered in you is the strongest and most determined. Is it not your breath that has erected and hardened the structure of your bones?
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
