More quotes by Khalil Gibran
Should we all confess our sins to one another we would all laugh at one another for our lack of originality
Khalil Gibran
And if there come the singers, and the dancers and the flute players - buy of their gifts also. For they too are gatherers of fruit and frankincense, and that which they bring, though fashioned of dreams, is raiment and fod for your soul.
Khalil Gibran
And some of your elders remember pleasures with regret like wrongs committed in drunkenness. But regret is the beclouding of the mind and not its chastisement. They should remember their pleasures with gratitude, as they would the harvest of a summer.
Khalil Gibran
God made Truth with many doors to welcome every believer who knocks on them.
Khalil Gibran
A man can be free without being great, but no man can be great without being free.
Khalil Gibran
Mother: the most beautiful word on the lips of mankind.
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

Then it is also in my heart to be worthy of your hate.
Khalil Gibran
When a man's hand touches the hand of a woman, they both touch the heart of eternity.
Khalil Gibran
Tell your secret to the wind, but don't blame it for telling the trees.
Khalil Gibran
When you reach the heart of life you shall find beauty in all things, even in the eyes that are blind to beauty.
Khalil Gibran
I have passed the mountain peak and my soul is soaring in the firmament of Complete and unbounded freedom I am in comfort, I am in peace.
Khalil Gibran
All our words are but crumbs that fall down from the feast of the mind.
Khalil Gibran
Rebellion without truth is like spring in a bleak, arid desert.
Khalil Gibran
The only time a juggler / Appeals to me / Is when I see him / Miss the ball.
Khalil Gibran
Hell is not in torture Hell is in an empty heart.
Khalil Gibran
But if in your fear you would seek only love's peace and love's pleasure, then it is better for you that you cover your nakedness and pass out of love's threshing-floor, into the seasonless world where you shall laugh, but not all of your laughter, and weep, but not all of your tears.
Khalil Gibran
For Reason, ruling alone, is a force confining and Passion, unattended, is a flame that burns to its own destruction.
Khalil Gibran
The lights of stars that were extinguished ages ago still reaches us. So it is with great men who died centuries ago, but still reach us with the radiations of their personalities.
Khalil Gibran
