Khalil Gibran

You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.

Khalil Gibran

You may give them your love, but not your thoughts. For they have their own thoughts.

Khalil Gibran

You may strive to be like them but seek not to make them like you. For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.

Khalil Gibran

Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself.

Khalil Gibran

Your confidence in the people, and your doubt about them, are closely related to your self-confidence and your self-doubt.

Khalil Gibran

Your daily life is your temple and your religion. When you enter into it take with you your all.

Khalil Gibran

Your friend is your needs answered.

Khalil Gibran

Rob a neighbour with a smile.

Khalil Gibran

A look which reveals inward stress adds more beauty to the face, no matter how much tragedy and pain it bespeaks; but the face which, in silence, does not announce hidden mysteries is not beautiful, regardless of the symmetry of its features.

Khalil Gibran

A poet is a bird of unearthly excellence, who escapes from his celestial realm arrives in this world warbling. If we do not cherish him, he spreads his wings and flies back into his homeland.
