Image
Your house is your larger body.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Beauty shall rise with the dawn from the east.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Solitude has soft, silky hands, but with strong fingers it grasps the heart and makes it ache with sorrow.
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
Your reason and your passion are your rudder and sails of your seafaring soul, if either your sails or your rudder be broken, you can but toss and drift, or else be held at a standstill in mid-seas. For reason, ruling alone, is a force confining and passion, unattended, is a flame that burns to its own destruction.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Your soul is oftentimes a battlefield, upon your reason and your judgment wage war against your passion and your appetite.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Enthusiasm is a volcano on whose top never grows the grass of hesitation.
Khalil Gibran
Image
To barter and lose is better than not to go forth.
Khalil Gibran
Image
For this I bless you most. You give much and know not that you give at all.
Khalil Gibran
Image
You talk when you cease to be at peace with your thoughts And when you can no longer dwell in the solitude of your heart you live in your lips, and sound is a diversion and a pastime. And in much of your talking, thinking is half murdered.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Spare me the political events and power struggles, as the whole earth is my homeland and all men are my fellow countrymen.
Khalil Gibran
Image
And you receivers - and you are all receivers - assume no weight of gratitude, lest you lay a yoke upon yourself and upon him who gives. Rather rise together with the giver on his gifts as on wings For to be overmindful of your debt, is to doubt his generosity who has the free hearted earth for mother, and God for father.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Thinking is always the stumbling stone to poetry.
Khalil Gibran
Image
If it's a despot you would dethrone, see first that his throne erected within you is destroyed.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Yesterday is but today's memory, and tomorrow is today's dream.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Life without love is like a tree without blossoms or fruit.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Mother: the most beautiful word on the lips of mankind.
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
It was but yesterday I thought myself a fragment quivering without rhythm in the sphere of life. Now I know that I am the sphere, and all life in rhythmic fragments moves within me.
Khalil Gibran
Image
To belittle, you have to be little.
Khalil Gibran
