More Quotes by Khalil Gibran
To understand the heart and mind of a person, look not at what he has already achieved, but at what he aspires to.
And God said, Love your enemy, & I obeyed Him & loved myself.
It is wrong to think that love comes from long companionship and persevering courtship. Love is the offspring of spiritual affinity and unless that affinity is created in a moment, it will not be created for years or even generations.
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.
If I accept the sunshine and warmth, then I must also accept the thunder and lightning.
Music is the language of the spirit. It opens the secret of life bringing peace, abolishing strife.
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.
Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself. They come through you but not from you, and though they are with you, yet they belong not to you. 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. You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you. For life goes not backward, nor tarries with yesterday.
Our worst fault is our preoccupation with the faults of others.
Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart.
