I existed from all eternity and, behold, I am here; and I shall exist till the end of time, for my being has no end.
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
And forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
Generosity is giving more than you can, and pride is taking less than you need.
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
Progress lies not in enhancing what is, but in advancing toward what will be.
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
Keep me away from the wisdom which does not cry, the philosophy which does not laugh and the greatness which does not bow before children.
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
I wash my hands of those who imagine chattering to be knowledge, silence to be ignorance, and affection to be art.
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
March on. Do not tarry. To go forward is to move toward perfection. March on, and fear not the thorns, or the sharp stones on life's path.
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
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
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
Happiness is a myth we seek, If manifested surely irks; Like river speeding to the plain, On its arrival slows and murks. For man is happy only in His aspiration to the heights; When he attains his goal, he cools And longs for other distant flights.
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
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
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."
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
When God created Man, he gave him Music as a language different from all other languages. And early man sang his glory in the wilderness; and drew the hearts of kings and moved them from their thrones.
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
The fool sees naught but folly; and the madman only madness. Yesterday I asked a foolish man to count the fools among us. He laughed and said, "This is too hard a thing to do, and it will take too long. Were it not better to count only the wise?"
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
That deed which in our guilt we today call weakness, will appear tomorrow as an essential link in the complete chain of Man.
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
He was gentle, like a man mindful of his own strength. In my dreams I beheld the kings of the earth standing in awe in His presence.
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
What the soul knows is often unknown to the man who has a soul. We are infinitely more than we think.
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
When a man's hand touches the hand of a woman, they both touch the heart of eternity.
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
No man can reveal to you nothing but that which already lies half-asleep in the dawning of your knowledge.
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
The most pitiful among men is he who turns his dreams into silver and gold.
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
Jesus was not sent here to teach the people to build magnificent churches and temples amidst the cold wretched huts and dismal hovels. He came to make the human heart a temple, and the soul an altar, and the mind a priest.
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
The nearest to my heart are a king without a kingdom and a poor man who does not know how to beg.
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
How beautiful to find a heart that loves you, without asking you for anything, but to be okay.
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
God made the world with a heart full of love, Then He looked down from Heaven above, And saw that we all need a helping hand, Someone to share with, who'll understand. He made special people to see us through The glad times and the sad times, too; A person on whom we can always depend, Someone we can call a friend. God made friends so we'll carry a part Of His perfect love in all our hearts.
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
When you reach the heart of life you shall find beauty in all things, even in the eyes that are blind to beauty.
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
Tears have cleansed my eyes, and errors have taught me the language of the hearts.
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
And now you ask in your heart, ‘How shall we distinguish that which is good in pleasure from that which is not good?’ Go to your fields and your gardens, and you shall learn that it is the pleasure of the bee to gather honey of the flower, But it is also the pleasure of the flower to yield its honey to the bee. For to the bee a flower is a fountain of life, And to the flower a bee is a messenger of love, And to both, bee and flower, the giving and the receiving of pleasure is a need and an ecstasy. * People of Orphalese, be in your pleasures like the flowers and the bees.
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping. For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts. And stand together yet not too near together: For the pillars of the temple stand apart, And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow.
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
The tiny flame that lights up the human heart is like a blazing torch that comes down from heaven to light up the paths of mankind. For in one soul are contained the hopes and feelings of all Mankind.
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
I have pondered long, and I know now that only the pure of heart forgive the thirst that leads to dead waters. And only the sure of foot can give a hand to him who stumbles.
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
From a sensitive woman's heart springs the happiness of mankind, and from the kindness of her noble spirit comes mankind's affection.
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
I would not exchange the laughter of my heart for the fortunes of the multitudes.
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding. Even as the stone of the fruit must break, that its heart may stand in the sun, so must you know pain.
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
When your friend speaks his mind you fear not the 'nay' in your own mind, nor do you withhold the 'ay. And when he is silent your heart ceases not to listen to his heart; For without words, in friendship, all thoughts, all desires, all expectations are born and shared, with joy that is unacclaimed. When you part from your friend, you grieve not; For that which you love most in him may be clearer in his absence, as the mountain to the climber is clearer from the plain.
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
If you sing of beauty though alone in the heart of the desert you will have an audience.
Quote by -Kahlil Gibran
Among the hills, when you sit in the cool shade of the white poplars, sharing the peace and serenity of distant fields and meadows - then let your heart say in silence, "God rests in reason." And when the storm comes, and the mighty wind shakes the forest, and thunder and lightning proclaim the majesty of the sky, - then let your heart say in awe, "God moves in passion.
