More quotes by Khalil Gibran
In the depth of my soul there is A wordless song - a song that lives In the seed of my heart. It refuses to melt with ink on Parchment it engulfs my affection In a transparent cloak and flows, But not upon my lips.
Khalil Gibran
joy and sorrow are inseparable. . . together they come and when one sits alone with you . . remember that the other is asleep upon your bed.
Khalil Gibran
...unless the exchange be in love and kindly justice, it will but lead some to greed and others to hunger.
Khalil Gibran
To judge you by your failures is to cast blame upon the seasons for their inconstancy.
Khalil Gibran
Let your bending in the Archer's hand be for gladness, for even as he loves the arrow that flies, so he loves also the bow that is stable.
Khalil Gibran
I love you when you bow in your mosque, kneel in your temple, pray in your church. For you and I are sons of one religion, and it is the spirit.
Khalil Gibran
All that spirits desire, spirits attain.
Khalil Gibran
Music is the language of the spirit. It opens the secret of life bringing peace, abolishing strife.

Khalil Gibran
Those to whom worshiping is a window, to open but also to shut, have not yet visited the house of their souls whose windows are open from dawn to dawn.
Khalil Gibran
Love and doubt have never been on speaking terms.
Khalil Gibran
Generosity is not giving me that which I need more than you do, but it is giving me that which you need more than I do.
Khalil Gibran
How can I lose faith in the justice of life, when the dreams of those who sleep upon feathers are not more beautiful than the dreams of those who sleep upon the earth?
Khalil Gibran
Be patient, for it is from doubt that knowledge is born.
Khalil Gibran
Poverty is a veil that obscures the face of greatness. An appeal is a mask covering the face of tribulation.
Khalil Gibran
You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.
Khalil Gibran
