Image
When you look closely people are so strange & so complicated that they're actually beautiful.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Poverty is a veil that obscures the face of greatness. An appeal is a mask covering the face of tribulation.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Would that I were a dry well, and that the people tossed stones into me, for that would be easier than to be a spring of flowing water that the thirsty pass by, and from which they avoid drinking.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Now let us play hide and seek. Should you hide in my heart it would not be difficult to find you. But should you hide behind your own shell, then it would be useless for anyone to seek you.
Khalil Gibran
Image
You see but your shadow when you turn your back to the sun.
Khalil Gibran
Image
There must be something strangely sacred about salt. It is in our tears and in the sea.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Love is a magic ray emitted from the burning core of the soul and illuminating the surrounding earth. It enables us to perceive life as a beautiful dream between one awakening and another.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The person you consider ignorant and insignificant is the one who came from God, that he might learn bliss from grief and knowledge from gloom.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Man struggles to find life outside himself, unaware that the life he is seeking is within him.
Khalil Gibran
Image
For truth and the spirit will abide with the morrow.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Real beauty lies in the spiritual accord that is called love which can exist between a man and a woman.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Verily the lust for comfort murders the passion of the soul, and then walks grinning in the funeral.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Love is the only freedom in the world because it so elevates the spirit that the laws of humanity and the phenomena of nature do not alter its course.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Much of your pain is the bitter potion by which the physician within you heals your sick self.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Your friend is your field which you sow with love and reap with thanksgiving.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Your house is your larger body. It grows in the sun and sleeps in the stillness of the night and it is not dreamless. Does not your house dream, and dreaming, leave the city for grove or hilltop?
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
You cannot lay remorse upon the innocent nor lift it from the heart of the guilty. Unbidden shall it call in the night, that men may wake and gaze upon themselves.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The best of man is he who blushes when you praise him and remains silent when you defame him.
Khalil Gibran
