Kahlil Gibran
Half of what I say is meaningless; but I say it so that the other half may reach you.
Kahlil GibranI wash my hands of those who imagine chattering to be knowledge, silence to be ignorance, and affection to be art.
Kahlil GibranOh, heart, if one should say to you that the soul perishes like the body, answer that the flower withers, but the seed remains.
Kahlil GibranIn the depth of my soul there is a wordless song.
Kahlil GibranFriendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.
Kahlil GibranWe choose our joys and sorrows long before we experience them.
Kahlil GibranYou are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.
Kahlil GibranTo understand the heart and mind of a person, look not at what he has already achieved, but at what he aspires to.
Kahlil GibranIt is well go give when asked but it is better to give unasked, through understanding.
Kahlil GibranWhen you reach the heart of life you shall find beauty in all things, even in the eyes that are blind to beauty.
Kahlil GibranWould that I were a dry well, and that the people tossed stones into me, for that would be easier than to be a spring of flowing water that the thirsty pass by, and from which they avoid drinking.
Kahlil GibranAnd forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.
Kahlil GibranLife without liberty is like a body without spirit.
Kahlil GibranAll that spirits desire, spirits attain.
Kahlil GibranNor shall derision prove powerful against those who listen to humanity or those who follow in the footsteps of divinity, for they shall live forever. Forever.
Kahlil GibranThe eye of a human being is a microscope, which makes the world seem bigger than it really is.
Kahlil GibranPain and foolishness lead to great bliss and complete knowledge, for Eternal Wisdom created nothing under the sun in vain.
Kahlil GibranThe reality of the other person lies not in what he reveals to you, but what he cannot reveal to you. Therefore, if you would understand him, listen not to what he says, but rather to what he does not say.
Kahlil GibranTo be able to look back upon ones life in satisfaction, is to live twice
Kahlil GibranHe who has not looked on Sorrow will never see Joy.
Kahlil GibranLove is trembling happiness.
Kahlil GibranYou pray in your distress and in your need; would that you might also pray in the fullness of your joy and in your days of abundance.
Kahlil GibranYesterday is but today's memory, tomorrow is today's dream.
Kahlil GibranSafeguarding the rights of others is the most noble and beautiful end of a human being.
Kahlil GibranZeal is a volcano, the peak of which the grass of indecisiveness does not grow.
Kahlil Gibran
