Beauty is that which attracts your soul, and that which loves to give and not to receive.
Khalil Gibran
Give me an ear and I will give you a Voice.

Khalil Gibran

Of time you would make a stream upon whose bank you would sit and watch its flowing. Yet the timeless in you is aware of life's timelessness, And knows that 'yesterday is but today's memory and tomorrow is today's dream.
Khalil Gibran
My God, my aim and my fulfillment I am thy yesterday and thou are my tomorrow. I am they root in the earth and thou art my flower in the sky, and together we grow before the face of the sun.

Khalil Gibran
Many are the places of worship, but few indeed are those who worship in Spirit and in truth.

Darkness is dawn not yet born.
Khalil Gibran
As one's gifts increase, his friends decrease.
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
Love passes by us, robed in meekness but we flee from her in fear, or hide in the darkness or else pursue her, to do evil in her name.
Khalil Gibran
Love is all I can possess and no one can deprive me of it. Kahlil Gibran (Visions of the Prophet)
Khalil Gibran
joy and sorrow are inseparable. . . together they come and when one sits alone with you . . remember that the other is asleep upon your bed.
Khalil Gibran
As the strings of a lute are apart though they quiver the same music.
Khalil Gibran
