More Quotes by Khalil Gibran
When you look closely people are so strange & so complicated that they're actually beautiful.
The best of man is he who blushes when you praise him and remains silent when you defame him.
Behind the veil of each night, there is a smilling dawn.
If you love somebody, let them go, for if they return, they were always yours. And if they don't, they never were.
To understand the heart and mind of a person, look not at what he has already achieved, but at what he aspires to.
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.
The smallest act of kindness is worth more than the greatest intention.
A thief is a man in need. A liar is a man in fear.
You may forget with whom you laughed, but you will never forget with whom you wept.
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.
