Khalil Gibran

I prefer to be a dreamer among the humblest, with visions to be realized, than lord among those without dreams and desires.

Khalil Gibran

I slept and I dreamed that life is all joy. I woke and I saw that life is all service. I served and I saw that service is joy.

Khalil Gibran

I use hate as a weapon to defend myself; had I been strong, I would never have needed that kind of weapon.

Khalil Gibran

I wash my hands of those who imagine chattering to be knowledge, silence to be ignorance, and affection to be art.

Khalil Gibran

If indeed you must be candid, be candid beautifully.

Khalil Gibran

If the other person injures you, you may forget the injury; but if you injure him you will always remember.

Khalil Gibran

In battling evil, excess is good; for he who is moderate in announcing the truth is presenting half-truth. He conceals the other half out of fear of people’s wrath.

Khalil Gibran

In friendship let there be laughter and sharing of pleasures.

Khalil Gibran

In one drop of water are found all the secrets of all the oceans; in one aspect of you are found all the aspects of existence.

Khalil Gibran

Inspiration will always sing; inspiration will never explain.
