Image
How can I lose faith in the justice of life, when the dreams of those who sleep upon feathers are not more beautiful than the dreams of those who sleep upon the earth?
Khalil Gibran
Image
Do not keep crying when your love has been gone. You only need Smile because he had been given you the opportunity to meet someone who is better.
Khalil Gibran
Image
It has been said that next to hunger and thirst, our most basic human need is for storytelling.
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 has no other desire but to fulfill itself, but if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires.
Khalil Gibran
Image
We wanderers, ever seeking the lonelier way, begin no day where we have ended another day and no sunrise finds us where sunset left us.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The truly good is he who is one with all those who are deemed bad.
Khalil Gibran
Image
When we oppose the hidden conscience, it does us hurt. When we betray it, it judges us.
Khalil Gibran
Image
It is wrong to think that love comes from long companionship and persevering courtship. Love is the offspring of spiritual affinity and unless that affinity is created in a moment, it will not be created for years or even generations.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The poet is a bird of strange moods. He descends from his lofty domain to tarry among us, singing if we do not honor him he will unfold his wings and fly back to his dwelling place.
Khalil Gibran
Image
And if you would know God, be not therefore a solver of riddles. Rather look about you and you shall see Him playing with your children.
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
You would know the secret of death. But how shall you find it unless you seek it in the heart of life.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Your body is the harp of the soul.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The just is close to the people's heart, but the merciful is close to the heart of God.
Khalil Gibran
Image
When a man's hand touches the hand of a woman, they both touch the heart of eternity.
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
Let passion fill your sails, but let reason be your rudder.
Khalil Gibran
Image
A little while, a moment of rest upon the wind, and another woman shall bear me.
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
