More quotes by Khalil Gibran
Braving obstacles and hardships is nobler than retreat to tranquility. The butterfly that hovers around the lamp until it dies is more admirable than the mole that lives in a dark tunnel.
Khalil Gibran
Our worst fault is our preoccupation with the faults of others.
Khalil Gibran
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.
Khalil Gibran
Rebellion without truth is like spring in a bleak, arid desert.
Khalil Gibran
Let your home be you mast and not your anchor.
Khalil Gibran
Make me, oh God, the prey of the Lion, ere you make the rabbit my prey
Khalil Gibran
Doubt is a pain too lonely to know that faith is his twin brother. Doubt is a foundling unhappy and astray, and though his own mother who gave him birth should find him and enfold him, he would withdraw in caution and in fear.
Khalil Gibran
Fear of the devil is one way of doubting God.
Khalil Gibran
Seek ye counsel of the aged for their eyes have looked on the faces of the years and their ears have hardened to the voices of Life. Even if their counsel is displeasing to you, pay heed to them.
Khalil Gibran
You shall not dwell in tombs made by the dead for the living.
Khalil Gibran
And ever has it been known that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation.
Khalil Gibran
The giving and receiving of pleasure is a need and an ecstasy.
Khalil Gibran
Mother: the most beautiful word on the lips of mankind.
Khalil Gibran
There is a desire deep within the soul which drives man from the seen to the unseen, to philosophy and to the divine.
Khalil Gibran
In the depth of your hopes and desires lies your silent knowledge of the beyond.
Khalil Gibran
As the strings of a lute are apart though they quiver the same music.
Khalil Gibran
Your house is your larger body. It grows in the sun and sleeps in the stillness of the night and it is not dreamless. Does not your house dream, and dreaming, leave the city for grove or hilltop?
Khalil Gibran
He who does not prefer exile to slavery is not free by any measure of freedom, truth and duty.
Khalil Gibran
This for God and this for myself This for my soul, and this other for my body?
Khalil Gibran
When you love you should not think you can direct the course of love, for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course.
Khalil Gibran
