More quotes by Khalil Gibran
Perhaps time’s definition of coal is the diamond.
Khalil Gibran
You would know the secret of death. But how shall you find it unless you seek it in the heart of life.
Khalil Gibran
I learnt silence from the talkative
Khalil Gibran
I am the lover's gift I am the wedding wreath I am the memory of a moment of happiness I am the last gift of the living to the dead I am a part of joy and a part of sorrow.
Khalil Gibran
Am I a harp that the hand of the mighty may touch me, or a flute that his breath may pass through me? A seeker of silences am I, and what treasure have I found in silences that I may dispense with confidence?
Khalil Gibran
Marriage is like a golden ring in a chain, whose beginning is a glance and whose ending is eternity.
Khalil Gibran
You are good when you are one with yourself. Yet when you are not one with yourself you are not evil. For a divided house is not a den of thieves it is only a divided house. And a ship without rudder may wander aimlessly among perilous isles yet sink not to the bottom.
Khalil Gibran
You shall not dwell in tombs made by the dead for the living.
Khalil Gibran
When I planted my pain in the field of patience it bore fruit of happiness.
Khalil Gibran
Beauty shall rise with the dawn from the east.
Khalil Gibran
For Reason, ruling alone, is a force confining and Passion, unattended, is a flame that burns to its own destruction.
Khalil Gibran
Verily the lust for comfort murders the passion of the soul, and then walks grinning in the funeral.
Khalil Gibran
But let there be spaces in your togetherness and let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.
Khalil Gibran
And when you have reached the mountain top, then you shall begin to climb.
Khalil Gibran
Love is all I can possess and no one can deprive me of it. Kahlil Gibran (Visions of the Prophet)
Khalil Gibran
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
Let me, O let me bathe my soul in colours let me swallow the sunset and drink the rainbow.
Khalil Gibran
It is slavery to live in the mind unless it has become part of the body
Khalil Gibran
You cannot laugh and be unkind at the same time
Khalil Gibran
Tortoises can tell you more about the road than hares.
Khalil Gibran
