Image
Love is all I can possess and no one can deprive me of it. Kahlil Gibran (Visions of the Prophet)
Khalil Gibran
Image
Listen to the women when she looks at you, not when she talks to you.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Much of your pain is the bitter potion by which the physician within you heals your sick self.
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
Image
A woman whom Providence has provided with beauty of spirit and body is a truth, at the same time both open and secret, which we can understand only by love, and touch only by virtue.
Khalil Gibran
Image
I existed from all eternity and, behold, I am here and I shall exist till the end of time, for my being has no end.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Lovers embrace that which is between them rather than each other.
Khalil Gibran
Image
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
Image
I am one of those who believe that spiritual progress is a rule of human life, but the approach to perfection is slow and painful. If a woman elevates herself in one respect and is retarded in another, it is because the rough trail that leads to the mountain peak is not free of ambushes of thieves and lairs of wolves.
Khalil Gibran
Image
You cannot lay remorse upon the innocent nor lift it from the heart of the guilty. Unbidden shall it call in the night, that men may wake and gaze upon themselves.
Khalil Gibran
Image
But memory is an autumn leaf that murmurs a while in the wind and then is heard no more.
Khalil Gibran
Image
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
Image
Which of you would be silent - when all else sings together in unison?
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
Perplexity is the beginning of knowledge.
Khalil Gibran
Image
My friend, I am not what I seem. Seeming is but a garment I wear — a care-woven garment that protects me from thy questionings and thee from my negligence. The I in me, my friend, dwells in the house of silence, and therein it shall remain for ever more, unperceived, unapproachable.
Khalil Gibran
Image
A teacher can only lead you to the threshold of your own mind.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Death most resembles a prophet who is without honor in his own land or a poet who is a stranger among his people.
Khalil Gibran
Image
I discovered the secret of the sea in meditation upon a dewdrop.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Work is love made visable.
Khalil Gibran
