Let your bending in the Archer's hand be for gladness, for even as he loves the arrow that flies, so he loves also the bow that is stable.

More quotes by Khalil Gibran

Image
He was gentle, like a man mindful of his own strength. In my dreams I beheld the kings of the earth standing in awe in His presence.
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
Follow your heart. Your heart is the right guide in everything big. Mine is so limited. What you want to do is determined by that divine element that is in each of us.
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
Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping, For only the hand of God can contain your hearts.
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
If you sing of beauty though alone in the heart of the desert you will have an audience.
Khalil Gibran
Image
God made Truth with many doors to welcome every believer who knocks on them.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Like the seeds dreaming beneath the snow your heart dreams of spring.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Why dispute what we shall be, when we know not even what we are.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Many are the places of worship, but few indeed are those who worship in Spirit and in truth.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding.
Khalil Gibran
Image
For that which is boundless in you abides in the mansion of the sky, whose door is the morning mist, and whose windows are the songs and the silences of night.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Between what is said and not meant, and what is meant and not said, most of love is lost.
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
Your freedom when it loses its fetters becomes itself the fetter of a greater freedom.
Khalil Gibran
Image
As one's gifts increase, his friends decrease.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Friendship with the ignorant is as foolish as arguing with a drunkard.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Conscience is a just but weak judge. Weakness leaves it powerless to execute its judgment.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Would that I could be the peacemaker in your soul, that I might turn the discord and the rivalry of your elements into oneness and melody.
Khalil Gibran
