Learn the words of wisdom uttered by the wise and apply them in your own life. Live them - but do not a make a show of reciting them, for he who repeats what he does not understand is no better than an ass loaded with books.

More quotes by Khalil Gibran
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
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
I discovered the secret of the sea in meditation upon a dewdrop.
Khalil Gibran
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
She danced the dance of flames and fire, and the dance of swords and spears she danced the dance of stars and the dance of space, and then she danced the dance of flowers in the wind.
Khalil Gibran
Love is the gentle smile upon the lips of beauty.
Khalil Gibran
Let your best be for your friend.
Khalil Gibran
And ever has it been known that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation.
Khalil Gibran
For in truth it is life that gives unto life-while you, who deem yourself a giver, are but a witness.
Khalil Gibran
Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding. Even as the stone of the fruit must break, that its heart may stand in the sun, so must you know pain.
Khalil Gibran
No man can reveal to you nothing but that which already lies half-asleep in the dawning of your knowledge.
Khalil Gibran
The creator gives no heed to the critic unless he becomes a barren inventor.
Khalil Gibran
Who can separate his faith from his actions, or his belief from his occupations?
Khalil Gibran
You may forget with whom you laughed, but you will never forget with whom you wept.
Khalil Gibran
And only the sure of foot can give a hand to him who stumbles.
Khalil Gibran
Be patient, for it is from doubt that knowledge is born.
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
It has been said that next to hunger and thirst, our most basic human need is for storytelling.
Khalil Gibran
Many are the places of worship, but few indeed are those who worship in Spirit and in truth.
Khalil Gibran
For the vision of one man lends not its wings to another man.
Khalil Gibran
