Image
Let passion fill your sails, but let reason be your rudder.
Khalil Gibran
Image
You are far, far greater than you know - and all is well.
Khalil Gibran
Image
For Reason, ruling alone, is a force confining and Passion, unattended, is a flame that burns to its own destruction.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Life without love is like a tree without blossoms or fruit.
Khalil Gibran
Image
There are those who give little of the much which they have - and they give it for recognition and their hidden desire makes their gifts unwholesome.
Khalil Gibran
Image
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
Love has the power that dispels death charm that conquers the enemy.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The things which the child loves remain in the domain of the heart until old age. The most beautiful thing in life is that our souls remain hovering over the places where we once enjoyed ourselves. I am one of those who remembers those places regardless of distance or time.
Khalil Gibran
Image
A minute moving among the patterns of beauty and the dreams of love is greater and more precious than an age filled with splendor granted by the weak to the strong.
Khalil Gibran
Image
We wanderers, ever seeking the lonelier way, begin no day where we have ended another day and no sunrise finds us where sunset left us.
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
One may not reach the dawn save by path of night.
Khalil Gibran
Image
If you sing of beauty though alone in the heart of the desert you will have an audience.
Khalil Gibran
Image
And is not the lute that soothes your spirit the very wood that was hollowed with knives?
Khalil Gibran
Image
I wash my hands of those who imagine chattering to be knowledge, silence to be ignorance, and affection to be art.
Khalil Gibran
Image
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
Image
Work is love made visable.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Extreme torture is mute, and so we sat silent, petrified, like columns of marble buried under the sand of an earthquake. Neither wished to listen to the other because our heart-threads had become weak and even breathing would have broken them.
Khalil Gibran
Image
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
Trust in dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity.
Khalil Gibran
