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
Khalil Gibran

Braving obstacles and hardships is braver than retreat to tranquility.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Cover me with soft earth, and let each handful be mixed With seeds ofjasmine, lilies, and myrtle and when they Grow above me and thrive on my body's element they will Breathe the fragrance of my heart into space.
Khalil Gibran

Khalil Gibran

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
When you have solved all the mysteries of life you long for death, for it is but another mystery of life.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Zeal is a volcano, the peak of which the grass of indecisiveness does not grow.
Khalil Gibran
Image
I learnt silence from the talkative
Khalil Gibran
Image
Knowledge and understanding are life's faithful companions who will never prove untrue to you. For knowledge is your crown, and understanding your staff and when they are with you, you can possess no greater treasures.
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
Poetry is a deal of joy and pain and wonder, with a dash of the dictionary.
Khalil Gibran
