More quotes by Khalil Gibran
One may not reach the dawn save by path of night.
Khalil Gibran
There is a desire deep within the soul which drives man from the seen to the unseen, to philosophy and to the divine.
Khalil Gibran
Most people who ask for advice from others have already resolved to act as it pleases them.
Khalil Gibran
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
There are those who give and know not pain in giving, nor do they seek joy, nor give with mindfulness of virtue They give as in yonder valley the myrtle breathes its fragrance into space.
Khalil Gibran
The truly great man is he who would master no one, and who would be mastered by none.
Khalil Gibran
Who can separate his faith from his actions, or his belief from his occupations?
Khalil Gibran
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
Generosity is not giving me that which I need more than you do, but it is giving me that which you need more than I do.
Khalil Gibran
He who does not prefer exile to slavery is not free by any measure of freedom, truth and duty.
Khalil Gibran
I have learned silence from the talkative, toleration from the intolerant, and kindness from the unkind yet, strange, I am ungrateful to those teachers.
Khalil Gibran
The truly just is he who feels half guilty of your misdeeds.
Khalil Gibran
They tell me: If you see a slave sleeping, do not wake him lest he be dreaming of freedom. I tell them: If you see a slave sleeping, wake him and explain to him freedom.
Khalil Gibran
Which of you would be silent - when all else sings together in unison?
Khalil Gibran
For what is evil but good tortured by its own hunger and thirst?
Khalil Gibran
In every aspect of the day Jesus was aware of the Father. He beheld Him in the clouds and in the shadows of the clouds that pass over the earth.
Khalil Gibran
Trickery succeeds sometimes, but it always commits suicide.
Khalil Gibran
To know the pain of too much tenderness
Khalil Gibran
Doubt is a pain too lonely to know that faith is his twin brother. Doubt is a foundling unhappy and astray, and though his own mother who gave him birth should find him and enfold him, he would withdraw in caution and in fear.
Khalil Gibran
Enthusiasm is a volcano on whose top never grows the grass of hesitation.
Khalil Gibran
