324 Quotes by Kahlil Gibran

Life kisses our faces every morning. Yet, between morning and evening, she laughs at our sorrows.

A woman protested saying, "Of course it was a righteous war. My son fell in it.".

Accept the seasons of your heart, even as you have always accepted the seasons that pass over your fields.And you would watch with serenity through the winters of your grief.

In your winter you deny your spring,

Could you keep your heart in wonder at the daily miracles of your life, your pain would not seem less wondrous than your joy;

Love possesses not nor would it be possessed; For love is sufficient unto love.

Some of you say, 'Joy is greater thar sorrow,' and others say, 'Nay, sorrow is the greater.'But I say unto you, they are inseparable.Together they come, and when one sits, alone with you at your board, remember that the other is asleep upon your bed.

Your joy is your sorrow unmasked. And the selfsame well from which your laughter rises was oftentimes filled with your tears. And how else can it be? The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain. When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy.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.

He who has not looked on Sorrow will never see Joy
