More Quotes by Khalil Gibran
Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars.
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.
When you reach the end of what you should know, you will be at the beginning of what you should sense.
God made the world with a heart full of love, Then He looked down from Heaven above, And saw that we all need a helping hand, Someone to share with, who'll understand. He made special people to see us through The glad times and the sad times, too; A person on whom we can always depend, Someone we can call a friend. God made friends so we'll carry a part Of His perfect love in all our hearts.
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.
If I accept the sunshine and warmth, then I must also accept the thunder and lightning.
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.
Music is the language of the spirit. It opens the secret of life bringing peace, abolishing strife.
Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart.
A thief is a man in need. A liar is a man in fear.
