More quotes by Khalil Gibran

Image
Love is the only freedom in the world because it so elevates the spirit that the laws of humanity and the phenomena of nature do not alter its course.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Coming generations will learn equality from poverty, and love from woes.
Khalil Gibran
Image
When the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance.
Khalil Gibran
Image
They consider me to have sharp and penetrating vision because I see them through the mesh of a sieve.
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 would know the secret of death. But how shall you find it unless you seek it in the heart of life.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Your reason and your passion are your rudder and sails of your seafaring soul, if either your sails or your rudder be broken, you can but toss and drift, or else be held at a standstill in mid-seas. For reason, ruling alone, is a force confining and passion, unattended, is a flame that burns to its own destruction.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Now let us play hide and seek. Should you hide in my heart it would not be difficult to find you. But should you hide behind your own shell, then it would be useless for anyone to seek you.
Khalil Gibran
Image
I love you when you bow in your mosque, kneel in your temple, pray in your church. For you and I are sons of one religion, and it is the spirit.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Verily the lust for comfort murders the passion of the soul, and then walks grinning in the funeral.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The just is close to the people's heart, but the merciful is close to the heart of God.
Khalil Gibran
Image
To be able to look back upon ones life in satisfaction, is to live twice.
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
Of the good in you I can speak, but not of the evil. For what is evil but good tortured by its own hunger and thirst? Verily when good is hungry it seeks food even in dark caves, and when it thirsts it drinks even of dead waters.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Do not keep crying when your love has been gone. You only need Smile because he had been given you the opportunity to meet someone who is better.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The first glance from the eyes of the beloved is like the spirit that moved upon the face of the waters, giving birth to heaven and earth.
Khalil Gibran
Image
A truly religious man does not embrace a religion and he who embraces one has no religion.
Khalil Gibran
Image
They deem me mad because I will not sell my days for gold and I deem them mad because they think my days have a price.
Khalil Gibran
Image
You cannot lay remorse upon the innocent nor lift it from the heart of the guilty. Unbidden shall it call in the night, that men may wake and gaze upon themselves.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Poetry is a deal of joy and pain and wonder, with a dash of the dictionary.
