1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 What difference is there between us, save a restless dream that follows my soul but fears to come near you? Kahlil Gibran What is this world that is hastening me toward I know not what, viewing me with contempt? Kahlil Gibran When love beckons to you, follow him, Though his ways are hard and steep. And when his wings enfold you yield to him, Though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you. Kahlil Gibran When we turn to one another for counsel we reduce the number of our enemies. Kahlil Gibran 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. Kahlil Gibran 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. Kahlil Gibran When you work you are a flute through whose heart the whispering of the hours turns to music. Which of you would be a reed, dumb and silent, when all else sings together in unison? Kahlil Gibran Where is the justice of political power if it executes the murderer and jails the plunderer, and then itself marches upon neighboring lands, killing thousands and pillaging the very hills? Kahlil Gibran Wisdom ceases to be wisdom when it becomes too proud to weep, too grave to laugh, and too selfish to seek other than itself. Kahlil Gibran Wisdom stands at the turn in the road and calls upon us publicly, but we consider it false and despise its adherents. Kahlil Gibran Work is love made visible. And if you cannot work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work and sit at the gate of the temple and take alms of those who work with joy. Kahlil Gibran Would that I were a dry well, and that the people tossed stones into me, for that would be easier than to be a spring of flowing water that the thirsty pass by, and from which they avoid drinking. Kahlil Gibran Yesterday is but today's memory, and tomorrow is today's dream. Kahlil Gibran Yesterday we obeyed kings and bent our necks before emperors. But today we kneel only to truth, follow only beauty, and obey only love. Kahlil Gibran You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth. Kahlil Gibran You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give. Kahlil Gibran You have your ideology and I have mine. Kahlil Gibran You pray in your distress and in your need; would that you might also pray in the fullness of your joy and in your days of abundance. Kahlil Gibran Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself. They came through you but not from you and though they are with you yet they belong not to you. Kahlil Gibran Your daily life is your temple and your religion. When you enter into it take with you your all. Kahlil Gibran 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 |
