More Quotes from Kahlil Gibran:
Believing is a fine thing, but placing those beliefs into execution is a test of strength. Many are those who talk like the roar of the sea, gut their lives are shallow and stagnant, like the rotting marshes. Many are those who lift their heads above the mountain tops, but their spirits remain dormant in the obscurity of the caverns.Kahlil Gibran
I am bored with gabbers and their gab my soul abhors them.... Is there any place where there is no traffic in empty talk Is there on this earth one who does not worship himself talking.
Kahlil Gibran
Prayer is the song of the heart. It reaches the ear of God even if it is mingled with the cry and the tumult of a thousand men.
Kahlil Gibran
Happiness is a myth we seek, If manifested surely irks Like river speeding to the plain, On its arrival slows and murks. For man is happy only in His aspiration to the heights When he attains his goal, he cools And longs for other distant flights.
Kahlil Gibran
The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain.
Kahlil Gibran
Nature reaches out to us with welcoming arms, and bids us enjoy her beauty but we dread her silence and rush into the crowded cities, there to huddle like sheep fleeing from a ferocious wolf.
