I have pondered long, and I know now that only the pure of heart forgive the thirst that leads to dead waters. And only the sure of foot can give a hand to him who stumbles.

Knowledge of the self is the mother of all knowledge. So it is incumbent on me to know my self, to know it completely, to know its minutiae, its characteristics, its subtleties, and its very atoms.

Mother, Wisdom, Self

Your friend is your needs answered.

Friendship, Best Friend, Real Friends

Khalil Gibran (2014). “The Prophet - Der Prophet”, p.92, Lulu.com

Who are you that men should rend their bosom and unveil their pride, that you may see their worth naked and their pride unabashed? See first that you yourself deserve to be a giver, and an instrument of giving.

Pride, Men, Giving

Khalil Gibran (2007). “Kahlil Gibran: Masterpieces”

You would measure time the measureless and the immeasurable. You would adjust your conduct and even direct the course of your spirit according to hours and seasons. Of time you would make a stream upon whose bank you would sit and watch its flowing.

Time, Watches, Spirit

Khalil Gibran (2007). “Kahlil Gibran: Masterpieces”

Real beauty lies in the spiritual accord that is called love which can exist between a man and a woman.

Spiritual, Real, Lying

We wanderers, ever seeking the lonelier way, begin no day where we have ended another, and no sunrise finds us where left by sunset. Even while the earth sleeps we travel. We are the seeds of that tenacious plant, and it is in our ripeness and our fullness of heart that we are given to the wind to be scattered.

Spiritual, Heart, Sunset

Khalil Gibran, “The Farewell XXVIIi”

The most wonderful thing, Mary, is that you and I are always walking together, hand in hand, in a strangely beautiful world, unknown to other people. We both stretch one hand to receive from Life - and Life is generous indeed.

Beautiful, Hands, People

History does not repeat itself except in the minds of those who do not know history.

Am I less man because I believe in a greater man?

Believe, Men, Greater

I want every image to be the beginning of an unseen image.

And how shall you punish those whose remorse is already greater than their misdeeds?

Judgement, Misdeeds, Greater

Khalil Gibran (2007). “Kahlil Gibran: Masterpieces”

When love beckons to you, follow him, Though his ways are hard and steep.

Khalil Gibran (2007). “Kahlil Gibran: Masterpieces”

And alone and without his nest shall the Eagle fly across the sun.

Eagles, Nests, Sun

Khalil Gibran (2007). “Kahlil Gibran: Masterpieces”

Out of my deeper heart a bird rose and flew skywards. Higher and higher did it rise, yet larger and larger did it grow. At first it was but like a swallow, then a lark, then an eagle, then as vast as a spring cloud, and then it filled the starry heavens. Out of my heart a bird flew skywards. And it waxed larger as it flew. Yet it left not my heart.

Spring, Heart, Eagles

Khalil Gibran (2007). “Kahlil Gibran: Masterpieces”

We who love Him beheld Him with these our eyes which He made to see; and we touched Him with these our hands which He taught to reach forth.

Eye, Hands, Taught

Khalil Gibran (2007). “Kahlil Gibran: Masterpieces”

You are a flower crushed beneath the feet of the animal that is concealed in a human being. Take comfort, in that you are the flower crushed and not the foot that has crushed it.

Flower, Animal, Feet

Solitude is a silent storm that breaks down all our dead branches; yet it sends our living roots deeper into the living heart of the living earth.

Music, Heart, Roots

Khalil Gibran “The New Frontier and Sand and Foam”, Library of Alexandria

You are good when you strive to give of yourself. Yet you are not evil when you seek gain for yourself. For when you strive for gain you are but a root that clings to the earth and sucks at her breast. Surely the fruit cannot say to the root, 'Be like me, ripe and full and ever giving of your abundance.' For to the fruit giving is a need as receiving is a need to the root.

Roots, Evil, Giving

Khalil Gibran (2007). “Kahlil Gibran: Masterpieces”

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. For if you bake bread with indifference, you bake a bitter bread that feeds but half man's hunger. And if you grudge the crushing of the grapes, your grudge distils a poison in the wine. And if you sing though as angels, and love not the singing, you muffle man's ears to the voices of the day and the voices of the night.

Change, Crush, Angel

'The Prophet' (1923) 'On Work'

But memory is an autumn leaf that murmurs a while in the wind and then is heard no more.

Memories, Autumn, Wind

Khalil Gibran (2007). “Kahlil Gibran: Masterpieces”

The creator gives no heed to the critic unless he becomes a barren inventor.

Giving, Barren, Critics

"Spiritual Sayings of Kahlil Gibran". Book by Kahlil Gibran, translated by Anthony R. Ferris, 1962.

Behold, I have reached the peak of the mountain and my spirit has taken flight in the heavens of freedom and liberation. I have gone far, far away, O children of my mother; the hills beyond the mists are now hidden from my view, the last traces of the valleys have been flooded by the ocean of serenity, and the paths and trails have been erased by the hand of oblivion. The roar of ocean waves has faded. I no longer hear anything but the anthem of eternity, which harmonizes with the spirit.

Mother, Children, Ocean

The wolves prey upon the lambs in the darkness of the night, but the blood stains remain upon the stones in the valley until the dawn comes, and the sun reveals the crime to all.

Night, Blood, Darkness
