God has placed in each soul an apostle to lead us upon the illumined path. Yet many seek life from without, unaware that is within them.

More quotes by Khalil Gibran
Wisdom ceases to be wisdom when it becomes too proud to weep, too grave to laugh, and too selfish to seek other than itself.
Khalil Gibran
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
When you see a man led to prison say in your heart, Mayhap he is escaping from a narrower prison. And when you see a man drunken say in your heart, Mayhap he sought escape from something still more unbeautiful.
Khalil Gibran
To be able to look back upon ones life in satisfaction, is to live twice.
Khalil Gibran
It was in my heart to help a little because I was helped much.
Khalil Gibran
Trickery succeeds sometimes, but it always commits suicide.
Khalil Gibran
And some of your elders remember pleasures with regret like wrongs committed in drunkenness. But regret is the beclouding of the mind and not its chastisement. They should remember their pleasures with gratitude, as they would the harvest of a summer.
Khalil Gibran
Hell is not in torture Hell is in an empty heart.
Khalil Gibran
Only love and death will change all things.
Khalil Gibran
When I planted my pain in the field of patience it bore fruit of happiness.
Khalil Gibran
Should we all confess our sins to one another we would all laugh at one another for our lack of originality
Khalil Gibran
Let there be spaces in your togetherness
Khalil Gibran
The lights of stars that were extinguished ages ago still reaches us. So it is with great men who died centuries ago, but still reach us with the radiations of their personalities.
Khalil Gibran
And let the winds of the heavens dance between you.
Khalil Gibran
As the strings of a lute are apart though they quiver the same music.
Khalil Gibran
You may give them your love but not your thoughts, for they have their own thoughts. You may house their bodies but not their souls, for their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
Khalil Gibran
He who denies his heritage, has no heritage
Khalil Gibran
We are all like the bright moon, we still have our darker side.
Khalil Gibran
You talk when you cease to be at peace with your thoughts And when you can no longer dwell in the solitude of your heart you live in your lips, and sound is a diversion and a pastime. And in much of your talking, thinking is half murdered.
Khalil Gibran
And alone and without his nest shall the Eagle fly across the sun.
Khalil Gibran
