Would that I could be the peacemaker in your soul, that I might turn the discord and the rivalry of your elements into oneness and melody.
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
Life without Freedom is like a body without a soul, and Freedom without Thought is like a confused spirit. . . . Life, Freedom and Thought are three-in-one, and are everlasting and shall never pass away.
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
Beauty is not a need but an ecstasy. It is not a mouth thirsting nor an empty hand stretched forth, But rather a heart enflamed and a soul enchanted.
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
In the depth of my soul there is A wordless song - a song that lives In the seed of my heart. It refuses to melt with ink on Parchment; it engulfs my affection In a transparent cloak and flows, But not upon my lips.
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
The mother is everything - she is our consolation in sorrow, our hope in misery, and our strength in weakness. She is the source of love, mercy, sympathy, and forgiveness. He who loses his mother loses a pure soul who blesses and guards him constantly
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
The thirst of soul is sweeter than the wine of material things, and the fear of spirit is dearer than the security of the body.
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
Say not, I have found the path of the soul Say rather, I have met the soul walking upon my path.
Quote by -Kahlil 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.
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
For the first time the sun kissed my own naked face and my soul was inflamed with love for the sun, and I wanted my masks no more. And as if in a trance I cried, "Blessed, blessed are the thieves who stole my masks." Thus I became a madman.
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
He who loses his mother loses a pure soul who blesses and guards him constantly.
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
Those to whom worshiping is a window, to open but also to shut, have not yet visited the house of their souls whose windows are open from dawn to dawn.
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
A traveller I am, and a navigator, and everyday I discover a new region within my soul.
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
The philosopher's soul dwells in his head, the poet's soul is in his heart; the singer's soul lingers about his throat, but the soul of the dancer abides in all her body.
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
Love descends upon our souls by the will of God and not by the demand or the plea of the individual.
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
Poetry, my dear friends, is a sacred incarnation of a smile. Poetry is a sigh that dries the tears. Poetry is a spirit who dwells in the soul, whose nourishment is the heart, whose wine is affection. Poetry that comes not in this form is a false messiah.
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
if you cannot but weep when your soul summons you to prayer, she should spur you again and yet again, though weeping, until you shall come laughing
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
Your body is the harp of your soul and it is yours to bring forth sweet music from it or confused sounds.
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
This for God and this for myself; This for my soul, and this other for my body?
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
At ebb tide I wrote a line upon the sand, and gave it all my heart and all my soul. At flood tide I returned to read what I had inscribed and found my ignorance upon the shore.
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
Seven times have I despised my soul: The sixth time when she despised the ugliness of a face, and knew not that it was one of her own masks.
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
I had a second birth when my soul and my body loved one another and were married.
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
The soul is an embryo in the body of Man, and the day of death is the Day of awakening, for it is the Great era of labour and the rich Hour of creation.
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
I am bored with gabbers and their gab; my soul abhors them. . . . Is there any place where there is no traffic in empty talk? Is there on this earth one who does not worship himself talking?
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
Your soul is oftentimes a battlefield, upon your reason and your judgment wage war against your passion and your appetite.
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
Oh, heart, if one should say to you that the soul perishes like the body, answer that the flower withers, but the seed remains.
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
Half of what I say is meaningless; but I say it so that the other half may reach you.
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
God has made many doors opening into truth which He opens to all who knock upon them with hands of faith.
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
If your knowledge teaches you not the value of things, and frees you not from the bondage to matter, you shall never come near the throne of Truth.
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
Persecution cannot harm him who stands by Truth. Did not Socrates fall proudly a victim in body? Was not Paul stoned for the sake of the Truth? It is our inner selves that hurt us when we disobey it, and it kills us when we betray it.
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
He who does not seek advice is a fool. His folly blinds him to Truth and makes him evil, stubborn, and a danger to his fellow man.
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
Many are the places of worship, but few indeed are those who worship in Spirit and in truth.
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
They have exiled me now from their society and I am pleased, because humanity does not exile except the one whose noble spirit rebels against despotism and oppression. He who does not prefer exile to slavery is not free by any measure of freedom
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
He who does not prefer exile to slavery is not free by any measure of freedom, truth and duty.
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
Always you have been told that work is a curse and labour a misfortune. But I say to you that when you work you fulfill a part of earth's furthest dream, assigned to you when that dream was born, and in keeping yourself with labour you are in truth loving life...
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
When you work you fulfil a part of earth's furthest dream, assigned to you when that dream was born. And in keeping yourself with labour you are in truth loving life, And to love life through labour is to be intimate with life's inmost secret.
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
Many a doctrine is like a window pane. We see truth through it but it divides us from truth.
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
Truth is a deep kindness that teaches us to be content in our everyday life and share with the people the same happiness.
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy. When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires: To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night. To know the pain of too much tenderness. To be wounded by your own understanding of love; And to bleed willingly and joyfully. To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving; To rest at noon hour and meditate love's ecstasy; To return home at eventide with gratitude; And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise on your lips.
