More quotes by Khalil Gibran

Image
A woman whom Providence has provided with beauty of spirit and body is a truth, at the same time both open and secret, which we can understand only by love, and touch only by virtue.
Khalil Gibran
Image
For what is evil but good tortured by its own hunger and thirst?
Khalil Gibran
Image
You were born together, and together you shall be forevermore. You shall be together when the white wings of death scatter your days. Ay, you shall be together even in the silent memory of God. But let there be spaces in your togetherness, and let the winds of the heavens dance between you.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Be patient, for it is from doubt that knowledge is born.
Khalil Gibran
Image
To judge you by your failures is to cast blame upon the seasons for their inconstancy.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The truly good is he who is one with all those who are deemed bad.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Beauty is that which attracts your soul, and that which loves to give and not to receive.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Love one another, but make not a bond of love.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Enthusiasm is a volcano on whose top never grows the grass of hesitation.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The creator gives no heed to the critic unless he becomes a barren inventor.
Khalil Gibran
Image
When you work you are a flute through whose heart the whispering of the hours turns to music. Which of you would be a reed, dumb and silent, when all else sings together in unison?
Khalil Gibran
Image
You may chain my hands, you may shackle my feet you may even throw me into a dark prison but you shall not enslave my thinking, because it is free!
Khalil Gibran
Image
We live only to discover beauty. All else is a form of waiting
Khalil Gibran
Image
Your fear of death is but the trembling of the shepherd when he stands before the king whose hand is to be laid upon him in honour.
Khalil Gibran
Image
A root is a flower that disdains fame.
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
You may strive to be like them but seek not to make them like you. For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
Khalil Gibran
Image
As the strings of a lute are apart though they quiver the same music.
Khalil Gibran
Image
I would not exchange the laughter of my heart for the fortunes of the multitudes.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain... When you are joyous look deep into your heart and you will find that it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy.
Khalil Gibran
