Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.
Quote by -Kahlil 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.
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
In the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
To understand the heart and mind of a person, look not at what he has already achieved, but at what he aspires to.
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars.
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
One day you will ask me which is more important? My life or yours? I will say mine and you will walk away not knowing that you are my life.
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
I AM IGNORANT of absolute truth. But I am humble before my ignorance and therein lies my honor and my reward.
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
joy and sorrow are inseparable. . . together they come and when one sits alone with you . . remember that the other is asleep upon your bed.
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
Trees are poems the earth writes upon the sky, We fell them down and turn them into paper, That we may record our emptiness.
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
Life without love is like a tree without blossoms or fruit.” “Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself. To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night. To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
The appearance of things changes according to the emotions; and thus we see magic and beauty in them, while the magic and beauty are really in ourselves.
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
And all knowledge is vain save when there is work, and all work is empty save when there is love; and when you work with love you bind yourself to yourself, and to one another, and to God.
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
Many of us spend our whole lives running from feeling with the mistaken belief that you can not bear the pain. But you have already borne the pain. What you have not done is feel all you are beyond that pain.
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
God has placed in each soul an apostle to lead us upon the illumined path. Yet many seek life from without, unaware that is within them.
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
Love is the only flower that grows and blossoms without the aid of the seasons
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
No lower can a man descend than to interpret his dreams into gold and silver.
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
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.
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
Said a skunk to a tube-rose, "See how swiftly I run, while you cannot walk nor even creep." Said the tube-rose to the skunk, "Oh, most noble swift runner, please run swiftly!"
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
Verily all things move within your being in constant half embrace, the desired and the dreaded, the repugnant and the cherished, the pursued and that which you would escape.
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
Man is like the foam of the sea, that floats upon the surface of the water. When the wind blows, it vanishes, as if it had never been. Thus are our lives blown away by Death.
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
My Soul gave me good counsel, teaching me to love what the people abhor and to show good will toward the one they hate. It showed me that Love is a property not of the lover but of the beloved. Before my Soul taught me, Love was for me a delicate thread stretched between two adjacent pegs, but now it has been transformed into a halo; its first is its last, and its last is its first. It encompasses every being, slowly expanding to embrace all that ever will be.
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
Love is a sacred mystery. To those who love, it remains forever wordless; But to those who do not love, it may be but a heartless jest.
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
When you love you should not think you can direct the course of love, for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course.
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
Seek ye counsel of the aged for their eyes have looked on the faces of the years and their ears have hardened to the voices of Life. Even if their counsel is displeasing to you, pay heed to them.
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
Vain are the beliefs and teachings that make man miserable, and false is the goodness that leads him into sorrow and despair, for it is man's purpose to be happy on this earth and lead the way to felicity and preach its gospel wherever he goes. He who does not see the kingdom of heaven in this life will never see it in the coming life. We came not into this life by exile, but we came as innocent creatures of God, to learn how to worship the holy and eternal spirit and seek the hidden secrets within ourselves from the beauty of life.
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
All these things shall love do unto you that you may know the secrets of your heart, and in that knowledge become a fragment of Life's heart.
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
I am a poet who composes what life proses, and who proses what life composes.
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
He who does not see the angels and devils in the beauty and malice of life will be far removed from knowledge, and his spirit will be empty of affection.
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
Braving obstacles and hardships is nobler than retreat to tranquility. The butterfly that hovers around the lamp until it dies is more admirable than the mole that lives in a dark tunnel.
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
Spiritual awakening is the most essential thing in man's life, and it is the sole purpose of being. Is not civilization, in all its tragic forms, a supreme motive for spiritual awakening?
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
When life life does not find a singer to sing her heart, she produces a philosopher to speak her mind
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
Life is indeed darkness save when there is urge, and all urge is blind save when there is knowledge, and all knowledge is vain save when there is work, and all work is empty save when there is love.
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
Yesterday we obeyed kings and bent our necks before emperors. But today we kneel only to truth, follow only beauty, and obey only love.
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
A little knowledge that acts is worth infinitely more than much knowledge that is idle.
