Kahlil Gibran Wisdom Quotes
A collection of inspirational quotes & sayings by Kahlil Gibran, a Mystical Poet, philosopher, artist, essayist and novelist. Author of "The Prophet"
We choose our joys and sorrows
long before we experience them.
Say not, 'I have found the truth,'
but rather, 'I have found a truth.'
You pray in your distress and in your need;
would that you might pray also in the fullness of your joy
and in your days of abundance.
I have learned silence from the talkative,
tolerance from the intolerant
and kindness from the unkind.
I should not be ungrateful to those teachers.
The appearance of things change according to the emotions,
and thus we see magic and beauty in them,
while the magic and beauty are really in ourselves.
You give but little when you give of your possessions.
It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.
Love knows not its own depth
until the hour of separation.
Forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet
and the winds long to play with your hair.
Faith is an oasis in the heart
which can never be reached by the caravan of thinking.
Doubt is a pain
too lonely to know
that faith is his twin brother.
