Khalil Gibran
Image
Only those return to Eternity Who on earth seek out Eternity.
Khalil Gibran
Image
March on. Do not tarry. To go forward is to move toward perfection. March on, and fear not the thorns, or the sharp stones on life's path.
Khalil Gibran

To judge you by your failures is to cast blame upon the seasons for their inconstancy.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Death most resembles a prophet who is without honor in his own land or a poet who is a stranger among his people.
Khalil Gibran

Khalil Gibran

Khalil Gibran
Image
Love is the only flower that grows and blossoms without the aid of the seasons
Khalil Gibran
Image
For the sight of the angry weather saddens my soul and the sight of the town, sitting like a bereaved mother beneath layers of ice, oppresses my heart.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Observe the wonders as they occur around you. Don't claim them. Feel the artistry moving through and be silent.
Khalil Gibran
Image
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
Image
He who denies his heritage, has no heritage
Khalil Gibran
Image
And only the sure of foot can give a hand to him who stumbles.
Khalil Gibran
Image
To know the pain of too much tenderness
Khalil Gibran
Image
In the depth of my soul there is a wordless song.
Khalil Gibran
