More quotes by 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
The veil that clouds your eyes shall be lifted by the hands that wove it.
Khalil Gibran
The heart's affections are divided like the branches of the cedar tree if the tree loses one strong branch it will suffer but it does not die it will pour all its vitality into the next branch so that it will grow and fill the empty place.
Khalil Gibran
And how shall you punish those whose remorse is already greater than their misdeeds?
Khalil Gibran
When you part from your friend, you grieve not For that which you love most in him may be clearer in his absence, as the mountain to the climber is clearer from the plain.
Khalil Gibran
For what is it to die but to stand naked in the wind and to melt into the sun? And when the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance.
Khalil Gibran
For Reason, ruling alone, is a force confining and Passion, unattended, is a flame that burns to its own destruction.
Khalil Gibran
Like the seeds dreaming beneath the snow your heart dreams of spring.
Khalil Gibran
Life without love is like a tree without blossoms or fruit.
Khalil Gibran
The eye of a human being is a microscope, which makes the world seem bigger than it really is.
Khalil Gibran
And you receivers - and you are all receivers - assume no weight of gratitude, lest you lay a yoke upon yourself and upon him who gives. Rather rise together with the giver on his gifts as on wings For to be overmindful of your debt, is to doubt his generosity who has the free hearted earth for mother, and God for father.
Khalil Gibran
You progress not through what has been done, but reaching towards what has yet to be done.
Khalil Gibran
I came here to be for all and with all, and what I do today in my solitude will be echoed tomorrow by the multitude. What I say now with one heart will be said tomorrow by thousands of hearts.
Khalil Gibran
Remembrance is a form of meeting.
Khalil Gibran
Your body is the harp of the soul.
Khalil Gibran
Do not keep crying when your love has been gone. You only need Smile because he had been given you the opportunity to meet someone who is better.
Khalil Gibran
The nearest to my heart are a king without a kingdom and a poor man who does not know how to beg.
Khalil Gibran
To judge you by your failures is to cast blame upon the seasons for their inconstancy.
Khalil Gibran
Seven times have I despised my soul: The sixth time when she despised the ugliness of a face, and knew not that it was one of her own masks.
Khalil Gibran
What is fear of need but need itself?
Khalil Gibran
