One may not reach the dawn save by path of night.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Man struggles to find life outside himself, unaware that the life he is seeking is within him.
Khalil Gibran
Image
I am bored with gabbers and their gab my soul abhors them. . . . Is there any place where there is no traffic in empty talk? Is there on this earth one who does not worship himself talking?
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

Khalil Gibran

Out of my deeper heart a bird rose and flew skywards. Higher and higher did it rise, yet larger and larger did it grow. At first it was but like a swallow, then a lark, then an eagle, then as vast as a spring cloud, and then it filled the starry heavens. Out of my heart a bird flew skywards. And it waxed larger as it flew. Yet it left not my heart.
Khalil Gibran
Image
You may forget with whom you laughed, but you will never forget with whom you wept.
Khalil Gibran
Image
He who loses his mother loses a pure soul who blesses and guards him constantly.

The veil that clouds your eyes shall be lifted by the hands that wove it.
Khalil Gibran

I have passed the mountain peak and my soul is soaring in the firmament of Complete and unbounded freedom I am in comfort, I am in peace.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Tortoises can tell you more about the road than hares.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Nature reaches out to us with welcoming arms, and bids us enjoy her beauty but we dread her silence and rush into the crowded cities, there to huddle like sheep fleeing from a ferocious wolf.
Khalil Gibran
Image
No lower can a man descend than to interpret his dreams into gold and silver.
Khalil Gibran
