More quotes by Khalil Gibran
It has been said that next to hunger and thirst, our most basic human need is for storytelling.
Khalil Gibran
The love of a parent for a child is the love that should grow towards separation.
Khalil Gibran
And only the sure of foot can give a hand to him who stumbles.
Khalil Gibran
Your reason and your passion are your rudder and sails of your seafaring soul, if either your sails or your rudder be broken, you can but toss and drift, or else be held at a standstill in mid-seas. For reason, ruling alone, is a force confining and passion, unattended, is a flame that burns to its own destruction.
Khalil Gibran
You are good when you are one with yourself. Yet when you are not one with yourself you are not evil. For a divided house is not a den of thieves it is only a divided house. And a ship without rudder may wander aimlessly among perilous isles yet sink not to the bottom.
Khalil Gibran
...unless the exchange be in love and kindly justice, it will but lead some to greed and others to hunger.
Khalil Gibran
Remembrance is a form of meeting.
Khalil Gibran
In truth you owe naught to any man. You owe to all men.
Khalil Gibran
Beauty is life when life unveils her holy face.
Khalil Gibran
The longing for paradise is paradise itself.
Khalil Gibran
He who repeats what he does not understand is no better than an ass that is loaded with books.
Khalil Gibran
We live only to discover beauty. All else is a form of waiting
Khalil Gibran
Only those return to Eternity Who on earth seek out Eternity.
Khalil Gibran
A man can be free without being great, but no man can be great without being free.
Khalil Gibran
God has made many doors opening into truth which He opens to all who knock upon them with hands of faith.
Khalil Gibran
But memory is an autumn leaf that murmurs a while in the wind and then is heard no more.
Khalil Gibran
You would know the secret of death. But how shall you find it unless you seek it in the heart of life.
Khalil Gibran
When you work you are a flute through whose heart the whispering of the hours turns to music. Which of you would be a reed, dumb and silent, when all else sings together in unison?
Khalil Gibran
A little while, a moment of rest upon the wind, and another woman shall bear me.
Khalil Gibran
Real beauty lies in the spiritual accord that is called love which can exist between a man and a woman.
Khalil Gibran
