Image
The creator gives no heed to the critic unless he becomes a barren inventor.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Lovers embrace that which is between them rather than each other.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Yea, death and prison we mete out To small offenders of the laws, While honor, wealth, and full respect On greater pirates we bestow. To steal a flower we call mean. To rob a field is chivalry Who kills the body he must die, Who kills the spirit he goes free.
Khalil Gibran
Image
A truly religious man does not embrace a religion and he who embraces one has no religion.
Khalil Gibran
Image
A shy failure is nobler than an immodest success.
Khalil Gibran
Image
What difference is there between us, save a restless dream that follows my soul but fears to come near you?
Khalil Gibran
Image
I once heard a learned man say, Every evil has its remedy, except folly. To reprimand an obstinate fool or to preach to a dolt is like writing upon the water. Christ healed the blind, the halt, the palsied, and the leprous. But the fool He could not cure.

My Lebanon is a flock of birds fluttering in the early morning as shepherds lead their sheep into the meadow & rising in the evening as farmers return from their fields and vineyards.You have your Lebanon and its people. I have my Lebanon and its people.
Khalil Gibran

And forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.
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
The appearance of things changes according to the emotions and thus we see magic and beauty in them, while the magic and beauty are really in ourselves.
Khalil Gibran
Image
I want every image to be the beginning of an unseen image.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The longing for paradise is paradise itself.
Khalil Gibran
Image
When you reach the heart of life you shall find beauty in all things, even in the eyes that are blind to beauty.
Khalil Gibran
Image
I came here to be for all and with all, and what I do today in my solitude will be echoed tomorrow by the multitude. What I say now with one heart will be said tomorrow by thousands of hearts.
Khalil Gibran
Image
You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Love is the gentle smile upon the lips of beauty.
Khalil Gibran
Image
But now I have learned to listen to silence. To hear its choirs singing the song of ages, chanting the hymns of space, and disclosing the secrets of eternity.
Khalil Gibran
