More quotes by Khalil Gibran

Image
Love... it surrounds every being and extends slowly to embrace all that shall be.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The sorrowful spirit finds relaxation in solitude. It abhors people, as a wounded deer deserts the herd and lives in a cave until it is healed or dead.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Let your home be you mast and not your anchor.
Khalil Gibran
Image
If any of you would bring judgment the unfaithful wife, let him also weight the heart of her husband in scales, and measure his soul with measurements.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Disagreement may be the shortest cut between two minds.
Khalil Gibran
Image
A voice cannot carry the tongue and the lips that gave it wings. Alone must it seek the ether. And alone and without his nest shall the eagle fly across the sun.
Khalil Gibran
Image
...unless the exchange be in love and kindly justice, it will but lead some to greed and others to hunger.
Khalil Gibran
Image
We live only to discover beauty. All else is a form of waiting
Khalil Gibran
Image
Remember, one just man causes the Devil greater affliction than a million blind believers.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Let there be spaces in your togetherness...just as strings of a lute dance alone though they quiver with the same music.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding. Even as the stone of the fruit must break, that its heart may stand in the sun, so must you know pain.
Khalil Gibran
Image
A little knowledge that acts is worth infinitely more than much knowledge that is idle.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Love one another, but make not a bond of love.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The teacher gives not of his wisdom, but rather of his faith and lovingness.
Khalil Gibran
Image
All you have shall some day be given. Therefore give now, that the season of giving may be yours and not your inheritors.
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
All that spirits desire, spirits attain.
Khalil Gibran
Image
That which seems most feeble and bewildered in you is the strongest and most determined. Is it not your breath that has erected and hardened the structure of your bones?
Khalil Gibran
Image
And only the sure of foot can give a hand to him who stumbles.
Khalil Gibran
Image
He who denies his heritage, has no heritage
Khalil Gibran
