More Quotes by Khalil Gibran
Between what is said and not meant, and what is meant and not said, most of love is lost.
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.
Our worst fault is our preoccupation with the faults of others.
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.
And God said, Love your enemy, & I obeyed Him & loved myself.
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.
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.
Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars.
There must be something strangely sacred about salt. It is in our tears and in the sea.
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.
