More Quotes by Khalil Gibran
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.
How beautiful to find a heart that loves you, without asking you for anything, but to be okay.
And ever has it been known that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation.
Behind the veil of each night, there is a smilling dawn.
In the depths of your hopes and desires, lies your silent knowledge of the beyond, and like seeds dreaming beneath the snow, your heart dreams of spring. Trust the dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity.
In every winter's heart there is a quivering spring, and behind the veil of each night there is a shining dawn.
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.
I do not want you to hear that I LOVE you, but I want you to feel it without me having to say.
Yesterday is but today's memory, and tomorrow is today's dream.
A thief is a man in need. A liar is a man in fear.
