Kahlil Gibran Quotes on Thought & Thinking (5 Quotes)

You talk when you cease to be at peace with your thoughts; And when you can no longer dwell in the solitude of your heart you live in your lips, and sound is a diversion and a pastime. And in much of your talking, thinking is half murdered.

When you know a thing, you believe it, and the true believer sees with his spiritual discernment that which the surface investigator cannot see with the eyes of his head, and he understands through his inner thought that which the outside examiner cannot understand with his demanding, acquired process of thought. The believer acquaints himself with the sacred realities through deep senses different from those used by others. A believer looks upon his senses as a great wall surrounding him, and when he walks upon the path he says, 'This city has no exit, but it is perfect within.' The believer lives for all the days and the nights and the unfaithful live but a few hours.

Life without Freedom is like a body without a soul, and Freedom without Thought is like a confused spirit.... Life, Freedom and Thought are three-in-one, and are everlasting and shall never pass away.
