Quote

In a dream I saw Jesus and My God Pan sitting together in the heart of the forest. They laughed at each other's speech, with the brook that ran near them, and the laughter of Jesus was the merrier. And they conversed long.

Image
The truly great man is he who would master no one, and who would be mastered by none.
Khalil Gibran
Image
If any of you would bring judgment the unfaithful wife, let him also weight the heart of her husband in scales, and measure his soul with measurements.
Khalil Gibran
Image
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
Image
Inspiration will always sing inspiration will never explain.
Khalil Gibran
Image
You are persecuted and despised. It were better that a person should be the oppressed than that he should be the oppressor and fitter that he should be a victim to the frailty of human instincts than that he should be powerful and crush the flowers of life and disfigure the beauties of feeling with his desire.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Let there be spaces in your togetherness...just as strings of a lute dance alone though they quiver with the same music.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Life without love is like a tree without blossoms or fruit.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Observe the wonders as they occur around you. Don't claim them. Feel the artistry moving through and be silent.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Of the good in you I can speak, but not of the evil. For what is evil but good tortured by its own hunger and thirst? Verily when good is hungry it seeks food even in dark caves, and when it thirsts it drinks even of dead waters.
Khalil Gibran
Image
No lower can a man descend than to interpret his dreams into gold and silver.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Yea, death and prison we mete out To small offenders of the laws, While honor, wealth, and full respect On greater pirates we bestow. To steal a flower we call mean. To rob a field is chivalry Who kills the body he must die, Who kills the spirit he goes free.
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
You see but your shadow when you turn your back to the sun.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Am I less man because I believe in a greater man?
Khalil Gibran
Image
Your friend is your needs answered.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Behind the veil of each night, there is a smilling dawn.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Tell your secret to the wind, but don't blame it for telling the trees.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Enthusiasm is a volcano on whose top never grows the grass of hesitation.
Khalil Gibran
Image
You shall not dwell in tombs made by the dead for the living.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The nearest to my heart are a king without a kingdom and a poor man who does not know how to beg.
