More quotes by Khalil Gibran
The teacher gives not of his wisdom, but rather of his faith and lovingness.
Khalil Gibran
No lower can a man descend than to interpret his dreams into gold and silver.
Khalil Gibran
Some of our children are our justifications and some are but our regrets
Khalil Gibran
Fear of the devil is one way of doubting God.
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
He alone is great who turns the voice of the wind into a song made sweeter by his own loving.
Khalil Gibran

Khalil Gibran
Art is a step in the known toward the unknown
Khalil Gibran
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
Even as the holy and the righteous cannot rise beyond the highest which is in each one of you, so the wicked and the weak cannot fall lower than the lowest which is in you also.
Khalil Gibran
I have found both freedom and safety in my madness the freedom of loneliness and the safety from being understood, for those who understand us enslave something in us.
Khalil Gibran
The longing for paradise is paradise itself.
Khalil Gibran
The truly good is he who is one with all those who are deemed bad.
Khalil Gibran
And what word is knowledge but a shadow of wordless knowledge?
Khalil Gibran
To know the pain of too much tenderness
Khalil Gibran
Faith is a knowledge within the heart, beyond the reach of proof.
Khalil Gibran
