More quotes by Khalil Gibran
Let passion fill your sails, but let reason be your rudder.
Khalil Gibran
Love descends upon our souls by the will of God and not by the demand or the plea of the individual.
Khalil Gibran
When the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance.
Khalil Gibran
Passionate love is a quenchless thirst.
Khalil Gibran
We choose our joys and sorrows long before we experience them.
Khalil Gibran
Between the shores of the oceans and the summit of the highest mountain is a secret route that you must absolutely take before being one with the sons of the Earth.
Khalil Gibran
Wit is often a mask. If you tear it you will find either genius irritated or cleverness juggling.
Khalil Gibran
Do not fear the thorns in your path, for they draw only corrupt blood.
Khalil Gibran
Do not keep crying when your love has been gone. You only need Smile because he had been given you the opportunity to meet someone who is better.
Khalil Gibran
I sit between my brother the mountain and my sister the sea. We three are one in loneliness, and the love that binds us together is deep and strong and strange.
Khalil Gibran
Poetry, my dear friends, is a sacred incarnation of a smile. Poetry is a sigh that dries the tears. Poetry is a spirit who dwells in the soul, whose nourishment is the heart, whose wine is affection. Poetry that comes not in this form is a false messiah.
Khalil Gibran
In the depth of my soul there is A wordless song - a song that lives In the seed of my heart. It refuses to melt with ink on Parchment it engulfs my affection In a transparent cloak and flows, But not upon my lips.
Khalil Gibran
Am I a harp that the hand of the mighty may touch me, or a flute that his breath may pass through me? A seeker of silences am I, and what treasure have I found in silences that I may dispense with confidence?
Khalil Gibran
And before my Soul took me to task I was hard of hearing I heard only tumult and uproar. But now I am all ears listening to the silence and its choirs singing the hymns of time, intoning the praises of the firmament, revealing the secrets of the invisible.
Khalil Gibran
Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding.
Khalil Gibran
It is slavery to live in the mind unless it has become part of the body
Khalil Gibran
The love of a parent for a child is the love that should grow towards separation.
Khalil Gibran
Our worst fault is our preoccupation with the faults of others.
Khalil Gibran
Only love and death will change all things.
Khalil Gibran
You progress not through what has been done, but reaching towards what has yet to be done.
Khalil Gibran
