More quotes by Khalil Gibran
Do not fear the thorns in your path, for they draw only corrupt blood.
Khalil Gibran
He who denies his heritage, has no heritage
Khalil Gibran
Love is the gentle smile upon the lips of beauty.
Khalil Gibran
And only the sure of foot can give a hand to him who stumbles.
Khalil Gibran
All you have shall some day be given. Therefore give now, that the season of giving may be yours and not your inheritors.
Khalil Gibran
And as a single leaf turns not yellow but with the silent knowledge of the whole tree.
Khalil Gibran
And you receivers - and you are all receivers - assume no weight of gratitude, lest you lay a yoke upon yourself and upon him who gives. Rather rise together with the giver on his gifts as on wings For to be overmindful of your debt, is to doubt his generosity who has the free hearted earth for mother, and God for father.
Khalil Gibran
You may strive to be like them but seek not to make them like you. For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
Khalil Gibran
A hermit is one who renounces the world of fragments that he may enjoy the world wholly and without interruption.
Khalil Gibran
You are far, far greater than you know - and all is well.
Khalil Gibran
A man can be free without being great, but no man can be great without being free.
Khalil Gibran
For Reason, ruling alone, is a force confining and Passion, unattended, is a flame that burns to its own destruction.
Khalil Gibran
No human relation gives one possession in another—every two souls are absolutely different. In friendship or in love, the two side by side raise hands together to find what one cannot reach alone.
Khalil Gibran
All that spirits desire, spirits attain.
Khalil Gibran
Philosophy began when man ate the produce of the earth and suffered indigestion.
Khalil Gibran
If it's a despot you would dethrone, see first that his throne erected within you is destroyed.
Khalil Gibran
The veil that clouds your eyes shall be lifted by the hands that wove it.
Khalil Gibran
Let there be spaces in your togetherness
Khalil Gibran
All men love you for themselves. I love you for yourself.
Khalil Gibran
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
