More quotes by Khalil Gibran

Image
And when you were a silent word upon Life's quivering lips, I too was there, another silent word. Then life uttered us and we came down the years throbbing with memories of yesterday and with longing for tomorrow, for yesterday was death conquered and tomorrow was birth pursued.
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
And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The sorrowful spirit finds relaxation in solitude. It abhors people, as a wounded deer deserts the herd and lives in a cave until it is healed or dead.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The things which the child loves remain in the domain of the heart until old age. The most beautiful thing in life is that our souls remain hovering over the places where we once enjoyed ourselves. I am one of those who remembers those places regardless of distance or time.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Music is the language of the spirit. It opens the secret of life bringing peace, abolishing strife.
Khalil Gibran
Image
For a love to grow through the test of everyday living, one must respect that zone of privacy where one retires to relate to the inside instead of the outside.
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
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
Image
The tears that you spill, the sorrowful, are sweeter than the laughter of snobs and the guffaws of scoffers.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The smallest act of kindness is worth more than the greatest intention.
Khalil Gibran
Image
And how shall you punish those whose remorse is already greater than their misdeeds?
Khalil Gibran
Image
He who repeats what he does not understand is no better than an ass that is loaded with books.
Khalil Gibran
Image
They give that they may live, for to withhold is to perish.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The creator gives no heed to the critic unless he becomes a barren inventor.
Khalil Gibran
Image
A minute moving among the patterns of beauty and the dreams of love is greater and more precious than an age filled with splendor granted by the weak to the strong.
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
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
The lust for comfort, that stealthy thing that enters the house a guest, and then becomes a host, and then a master.
Khalil Gibran
Image
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
