In the mouth of Society are many diseased teeth, decayed to the bones of the jaws. But Society makes no effort to have them extracted and be rid of the affliction. It contents itself with gold fillings.

More quotes by Khalil Gibran
Let there be spaces in your togetherness...just as strings of a lute dance alone though they quiver with the same music.
Khalil Gibran
Only love and death will change all things.
Khalil Gibran
Of life's two chief prizes, beauty and truth, I found the first in a loving heart and the second in a laborer's hand.
Khalil Gibran
You cannot laugh and be unkind at the same time
Khalil Gibran
Those to whom worshiping is a window, to open but also to shut, have not yet visited the house of their souls whose windows are open from dawn to dawn.
Khalil Gibran
When God created Man, he gave him Music as a language different from all other languages. And early man sang his glory in the wilderness and drew the hearts of kings and moved them from their thrones.
Khalil Gibran
It was but yesterday I thought myself a fragment quivering without rhythm in the sphere of life. Now I know that I am the sphere, and all life in rhythmic fragments moves within me.
Khalil Gibran
A root is a flower that disdains fame.
Khalil Gibran
Beauty is life when life unveils her holy face.
Khalil Gibran
And that which sings and contemplates in you is still dwelling within the bounds of that first moment which scattered the stars into space.
Khalil Gibran
If you would behold the spirit of death, open your heart wide unto the body of life. For life and death are one, even as the river and sea are one.
Khalil Gibran
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
He who wears his morality but as his best garment were better naked. The wind and the sun will tear no holes in his skin.
Khalil Gibran
Listen to the women when she looks at you, not when she talks to you.
Khalil Gibran
For what is evil but good tortured by its own hunger and thirst?
Khalil Gibran
A truly religious man does not embrace a religion and he who embraces one has no religion.
Khalil Gibran
You were born together, and together you shall be forevermore. You shall be together when the white wings of death scatter your days. Ay, you shall be together even in the silent memory of God. But let there be spaces in your togetherness, and let the winds of the heavens dance between you.
Khalil Gibran
Most people who ask for advice from others have already resolved to act as it pleases them.
Khalil Gibran
Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself. They came through you but not from you and though they are with you yet they belong not to you.
Khalil Gibran
It is only when you are pursued that you become swift.
Khalil Gibran
