Image
You have been told that, even like a chain, you are as weak as your weakest link. This is but half the truth. You are also as strong as your strongest link. To measure you by your smallest deed is to reckon the power of ocean by the frailty of its foam. To judge you by your failures is to cast blame upon the seasons for their inconstancy.
Khalil Gibran
Image
There is a desire deep within the soul which drives man from the seen to the unseen, to philosophy and to the divine.
Khalil Gibran
Image
All can hear, but only the sensitive can understand.
Khalil Gibran
Image
I have learned silence from the talkative, toleration from the intolerant, and kindness from the unkind yet, strange, I am ungrateful to those teachers.
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
Image
Love that does not renew itself every day becomes a habit and in turn a slavery.
Khalil Gibran
Image
...unless the exchange be in love and kindly justice, it will but lead some to greed and others to hunger.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Your freedom when it loses its fetters becomes itself the fetter of a greater freedom.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Tortoises can tell you more about the road than hares.
Khalil Gibran
Image
A root is a flower that disdains fame.
Khalil Gibran
Image
We wanderers, ever seeking the lonelier way, begin no day where we have ended another day and no sunrise finds us where sunset left us.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Life is not only merriment,It is desire and determination.
Khalil Gibran
Image
As one's gifts increase, his friends decrease.
Khalil Gibran
Image
God has made many doors opening into truth which He opens to all who knock upon them with hands of faith.
Khalil Gibran
Image
They tell me: If you see a slave sleeping, do not wake him lest he be dreaming of freedom. I tell them: If you see a slave sleeping, wake him and explain to him freedom.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Verily the lust for comfort murders the passion of the soul, and then walks grinning in the funeral.
