More Quotes from Kahlil Gibran:
Spiritual awakening is the most essential thing in mans life, and it is the the sole purpose of being. Is not civilization, in all its tragic forms, a supreme motive for spiritual awakening.Kahlil Gibran
Said one oyster to a neighboring oyster, 'I have a very great pain within me. It is heavy and round and I am in distress.' And the other oyster replied with haughty complacence, 'Praise be to the heavens and to the sea, I have no pain within me. I am well and whole both within and without.' At that moment a crab was passing by and heard the two oysters, and he said to the one who was well and whole both within and without, 'Yes, you are well and whole but the pain that your neighbor bears is a pearl of exceeding beauty.'
Kahlil Gibran
The power to Love is Gods greatest gift to man, For it never will be taken from the Blessed one who loves.
Kahlil Gibran
Poetry, my dear friends, is a sacred incarnation of a smile. Poetry is a sigh that dries the tears. Poetry is a spirit who dwells in the soul, whose nourishment is the heart, whose wine is affection. Poetry that comes not in this form is a false messiah.
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
Whoever would be a teacher of men let him begin by teaching himself before teaching others and let him teach by example before teaching by word. For he who teaches himself and rectifies his own ways is more deserving of respect and reverence than he who would teach others and rectify their ways.
