More Quotes by Khalil 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.
Every man is two men; one is awake in the darkness, the other asleep in the light.
If you love somebody, let them go, for if they return, they were always yours. And if they don't, they never were.
Yesterday is but today's memory, and tomorrow is today's dream.
Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars.
The snow and the storm destroy the flower; but its seed they cannot kill.
To understand the heart and mind of a person, look not at what he has already achieved, but at what he aspires to.
When you look closely people are so strange & so complicated that they're actually beautiful.
The smallest act of kindness is worth more than the greatest intention.
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.
