Khalil Gibran

Khalil Gibran
Image

Khalil Gibran

The creator gives no heed to the critic unless he becomes a barren inventor.
Khalil Gibran

Say not, I have found the path of the soul Say rather, I have met the soul walking upon my path.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Nature reaches out to us with welcoming arms, and bids us enjoy her beauty but we dread her silence and rush into the crowded cities, there to huddle like sheep fleeing from a ferocious wolf.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Which of you would be silent - when all else sings together in unison?
Khalil Gibran
Image
What is this world that is hastening me toward I know not what, viewing me with contempt?
Khalil Gibran
Image
Let me, O let me bathe my soul in colours let me swallow the sunset and drink the rainbow.
Khalil Gibran
Image
No man can reveal to you nothing but that which already lies half-asleep in the dawning of your knowledge.
Khalil Gibran
Image
When you see a man led to prison say in your heart, Mayhap he is escaping from a narrower prison. And when you see a man drunken say in your heart, Mayhap he sought escape from something still more unbeautiful.
Khalil Gibran
Image
And how shall you punish those whose remorse is already greater than their misdeeds?
Khalil Gibran
