324 Quotes by Kahlil Gibran

Much have we loved you. But speechless was our love, and with veils has it been veiled,Yet now it cries aloud unto you, and would stand revealed before you.And ever has it been that love knows not it's depth until the hour of separation

آلا خبروني يا أهل آورفليس ماذا الذي عندكم في هذه البيوت؟ و ما الذي تخزنونه و تحرسونه وراء أبوابكم الموصدة؟أعندكم السلام-ذلك الحافز الهادىء الذي يكشف لكم عما فيكم من قدرة؟ أعندكم الذكريات-تلك القباب المشعة التي تصل قمم الفكر بعضها ببعض؟أم عندكم ذلك الجمال الذي ينتهي بكم من الأشياء المصنوعة من الخشب و الحجر المقدس إلى الجبل المقدس؟أم عندكم الرفاهية و شهوة الرفاهية-تلك الشهوة الخبيثة التي تتسل إلى البيت ضيفة، فلا تلبث آن تصبح مضيفة، و تنتهي بأن تبيت سيدة؟

Follow your heart. Your heart is the right guide in everything big

And how shall you punish those whose remorse is already greater than their misdeeds? Is not remorse the justice which is administered by that very law which you would fain serve? Yet you cannot lay remorse upon the innocent nor lift it from the heart of the guilty. Unbidden shall it call in the night, that men may wake and gaze upon themselves.

You may chain my hands, you may shackle my feet; you may even throw me into a dark prison; but you shall not enslave my thinking, because it is free!

Believing is a fine thing, but putting those beliefs into execution is a test of strength.

My God, my aim and my fulfillment; I am thy yesterday and thou are my tomorrow. I am they root in the earth and thou art my flower in the sky, and together we grow before the face of the sun.

The sun teaches to all things that grow their longing for the light. But it is night that raises them to the stars.

If you can see only what light reveals and hear only what sound announces, then in truth you do not see nor do you hear.
