More quotes by Khalil Gibran

Image
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
Image
The truly just is he who feels half guilty of your misdeeds.
Khalil Gibran
Image
No man can reveal to you nothing but that which already lies half-asleep in the dawning of your knowledge.
Khalil Gibran
Image
My yearning is my cup, my burning thirst is my drink, and my solitude is my intoxication I do not and shall not quench my thirst. But in this burning that is never extinguished is a joy that never wanes.
Khalil Gibran
Image
If your knowledge teaches you not the value of things, and frees you not from the bondage to matter, you shall never come near the throne of Truth.
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
I have passed the mountain peak and my soul is soaring in the firmament of Complete and unbounded freedom I am in comfort, I am in peace.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Verily the lust for comfort murders the passion of the soul, and then walks grinning in the funeral.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Trust in dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity.
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
Those who give you a serpent when you ask for a fish, may have nothing but serpents to give.
Khalil Gibran
Image
A look which reveals inward stress adds more beauty to the face, no matter how much tragedy and pain it bespeaks but the face which, in silence, does not announce hidden mysteries is not beautiful, regardless of the symmetry of its features.
Khalil Gibran
Image
A minute moving among the patterns of beauty and the dreams of love is greater and more precious than an age filled with splendor granted by the weak to the strong.
Khalil Gibran
Image
In the depth of my soul there is a wordless song.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Much of your pain is the bitter potion by which the physician within you heals your sick self.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Strange that we all defend our wrongs with more vigor than we do our rights.
Khalil Gibran
Image
He who loses his mother loses a pure soul who blesses and guards him constantly.
Khalil Gibran
Image
All can hear, but only the sensitive can understand.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Should we all confess our sins to one another we would all laugh at one another for our lack of originality
