Khalil Gibran

Most people who ask for advice from others have already resolved to act as it pleases them.

Khalil Gibran

Much of your pain is the bitter potion by which the physician within you heals your sick self.

Khalil Gibran

Music is the language of the spirit. It opens the secret of life bringing peace, abolishing strife.

Khalil Gibran

My loneliness was born when men praised my talkative faults and blamed my silent virtues.

Khalil Gibran

My proof convinces the ignorant, and the wise man’s proof convinces me. But he whose reasoning falls between wisdom and ignorance, I neither can convince him, nor can he convince me.

Khalil Gibran

Khalil Gibran

No lower can a man descend than to interpret his dreams into gold and silver.

Khalil Gibran

Observe the wonders as they occur around you. Don’t claim them. Feel the artistry moving through and be silent.

Khalil Gibran

Often times I have hated in self-defense; if I were stronger I would not have used such a weapon.

Khalil Gibran

Perhaps time’s definition of coal is the diamond.
