Khalil Gibran

Khalil Gibran
Image
They say: 'If a man knew himself, he would know all mankind.' I say: 'If a man loved mankind, he would know something of himself.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The eye of a human being is a microscope, which makes the world seem bigger than it really is.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Let me, O let me bathe my soul in colours let me swallow the sunset and drink the rainbow.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Do not fear the thorns in your path, for they draw only corrupt blood.
Khalil Gibran
Image
For Reason, ruling alone, is a force confining and Passion, unattended, is a flame that burns to its own destruction.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Disagreement may be the shortest cut between two minds.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Have you not heard of the man who was digging in the earth for roots and found a treasure?
Khalil Gibran
