Khalil Gibran
Love that does not renew itself every day becomes a habit and in turn a slavery.
Khalil Gibran
Life is not only merriment,It is desire and determination.
Khalil Gibran

Khalil Gibran
My friend, I am not what I seem. Seeming is but a garment I wear — a care-woven garment that protects me from thy questionings and thee from my negligence. The I in me, my friend, dwells in the house of silence, and therein it shall remain for ever more, unperceived, unapproachable.
Khalil Gibran
We fear death, yet we long for slumber and beautiful dreams.
Khalil Gibran
Wisdom stands at the turn in the road and calls upon us publicly, but we consider it false and despise its adherents.
Khalil Gibran
For the vision of one man lends not its wings to another man.
Khalil Gibran
And before my Soul took me to task I was hard of hearing I heard only tumult and uproar. But now I am all ears listening to the silence and its choirs singing the hymns of time, intoning the praises of the firmament, revealing the secrets of the invisible.
Khalil Gibran
It is only when you are pursued that you become swift.
Khalil Gibran
