Khalil Gibran Quotes
Rebellion without truth is like spring in a bleak, arid desert. Sadness is but a wall between two gardens. Safeguarding the rights of others is the most noble and beautiful end of a human being. Say not, 'I have found the truth,' but rather, 'I have found a truth.' The eye of a human being is a microscope, which makes the world seem bigger than it really is. The just is close to the people's heart, but the merciful is close to the heart of God. The lust for comfort, that stealthy thing that enters the house a guest, and then becomes a host, and then a master. The most pitiful among men is he who turns his dreams into silver and gold. The obvious is that which is never seen until someone expresses it simply. The person you consider ignorant and insignificant is the one who came from God, that he might learn bliss from grief and knowledge from gloom. The teacher who is indeed wise does not bid you to enter the house of his wisdom but rather leads you to the threshold of your mind. There are those who give with joy, and that joy is their reward. They consider me to have sharp and penetrating vision because I see them through the mesh of a sieve. Time has been transformed, and we have changed; it has advanced and set us in motion; it has unveiled its face, inspiring us with bewilderment and exhilaration. To be able to look back upon ones life in satisfaction, is to live twice. To understand the heart and mind of a person, look not at what he has already achieved, but at what he aspires to. Trust in dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity. Truth is a deep kindness that teaches us to be content in our everyday life and share with the people the same happiness. We choose our joys and sorrows long before we experience them. What difference is there between us, save a restless dream that follows my soul but fears to come near you?
