Image
If you love somebody, let them go, for if they return, they were always yours. And if they don't, they never were.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The only time a juggler / Appeals to me / Is when I see him / Miss the ball.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The optimist sees the rose and not its thorns the pessimist stares at the thorns, oblivious to the rose.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Life without Liberty is like a body without spirit. Liberty without thought is like a disturbed spirit.
Khalil Gibran
Image
A little knowledge that acts is worth infinitely more than much knowledge that is idle.
Khalil Gibran
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
Tell your secret to the wind, but don't blame it for telling the trees.
Khalil Gibran
Image
if you cannot but weep when your soul summons you to prayer, she should spur you again and yet again, though weeping, until you shall come laughing
Khalil Gibran
Image
Sow a seed and the earth will yield you a flower. Dream your dream to the sky and it will bring you your beloved.
Khalil Gibran

Life is not only merriment,It is desire and determination.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The feelings we live through in love and in loneliness are simply, for us, what high tide and low tide are to the sea.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Do not fear the thorns in your path, for they draw only corrupt blood.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Yea, death and prison we mete out To small offenders of the laws, While honor, wealth, and full respect On greater pirates we bestow. To steal a flower we call mean. To rob a field is chivalry Who kills the body he must die, Who kills the spirit he goes free.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Perplexity is the beginning of knowledge.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Because the soul is like a flower that folds its petals when dark comes, and breathes not its fragrance into the phantoms of the night.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Mother: the most beautiful word on the lips of mankind.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Love is all I can possess and no one can deprive me of it. Kahlil Gibran (Visions of the Prophet)
Khalil Gibran
Image
You are your own forerunner, and the towers you have builded are but the foundation of your giant-self. And that self too shall be a foundation.
Khalil Gibran
Image
That which seems most feeble and bewildered in you is the strongest and most determined. Is it not your breath that has erected and hardened the structure of your bones?
Khalil Gibran
Image
The tears that you spill, the sorrowful, are sweeter than the laughter of snobs and the guffaws of scoffers.
Khalil Gibran
