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.
Khalil Gibran
Image
For thought is a bird of space, that in a cage of words may indeed unfold its wings but cannot fly.
Khalil Gibran
Image
As one's gifts increase, his friends decrease.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Real beauty lies in the spiritual accord that is called love which can exist between a man and a woman.
Khalil Gibran
Image
You may give them your love but not your thoughts, for they have their own thoughts. You may house their bodies but not their souls, for their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Is not the beautiful moon, that inspires poets, the same moon which angers the silence of the sea with a terrible roar?
Khalil Gibran
Image
Knowledge and understanding are life's faithful companions who will never prove untrue to you. For knowledge is your crown, and understanding your staff and when they are with you, you can possess no greater treasures.
Khalil Gibran
Image
A voice cannot carry the tongue and the lips that gave it wings. Alone must it seek the ether. And alone and without his nest shall the eagle fly across the sun.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The earth is like a beautiful bride who needs no manmade jewels to heighten her loveliness.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Life without love is like a tree without blossoms or fruit.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Your freedom when it loses its fetters becomes itself the fetter of a greater freedom.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The most solid stone in the structure is the lowest one in the foundation.
Khalil Gibran
Image
God has made many doors opening into truth which He opens to all who knock upon them with hands of faith.
Khalil Gibran
Image
A shy failure is nobler than an immodest success.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Strange that we all defend our wrongs with more vigor than we do our rights.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Hell is not in torture Hell is in an empty heart.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Only those return to Eternity Who on earth seek out Eternity.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The sorrowful spirit finds relaxation in solitude. It abhors people, as a wounded deer deserts the herd and lives in a cave until it is healed or dead.
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
For what is evil but good tortured by its own hunger and thirst?
Khalil Gibran
