Quote

I would tell you more of Him, but how shall I? When love becomes vast love becomes wordless. And when memory is overladen it seeks the silent deep.

If it's a despot you would dethrone, see first that his throne erected within you is destroyed.
Khalil Gibran
Image
For in truth it is life that gives unto life-while you, who deem yourself a giver, are but a witness.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Your freedom when it loses its fetters becomes itself the fetter of a greater freedom.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Follow your heart. Your heart is the right guide in everything big. Mine is so limited. What you want to do is determined by that divine element that is in each of us.
Khalil Gibran
Image
When you love you should not think you can direct the course of love, for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course.
Khalil Gibran
Image
This for God and this for myself This for my soul, and this other for my body?
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
When a man's hand touches the hand of a woman, they both touch the heart of eternity.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Would that I could be the peacemaker in your soul, that I might turn the discord and the rivalry of your elements into oneness and melody.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Take then this Book, look into it, and show me when Jesus was not forgiving. Read this diving tragedy and tell me where He speaks without mercy and compassion. You visit not the sick and the imprisoned nor do you feed the hungry or give refuge to the stranger or comfort to the mourner.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Which of you would be silent - when all else sings together in unison?
Khalil Gibran
Image
I want every image to be the beginning of an unseen image.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Say not, 'I have found the truth,' but rather, 'I have found a truth.' Say not, ' I have found the path of the soul.' Say rather, 'I have met the soul walking upon my path.' For the soul walks upon all paths. The soul walks not upon a line, neither does it grow like a reed. The soul unfolds itself, like a lotus of countless petals.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Let passion fill your sails, but let reason be your rudder.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Poetry is a deal of joy and pain and wonder, with a dash of the dictionary.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Much of your pain is the bitter potion by which the physician within you heals your sick self.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The truly great man is he who would master no one, and who would be mastered by none.
Khalil Gibran
Image
If we were to all sit in a circle and confess our sins, we would laugh at each other for lack of originality.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The earth is like a beautiful bride who needs no manmade jewels to heighten her loveliness.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Love prides itself not only in the one who loves, but also in the beloved.
Khalil Gibran
