Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.
Khalil Gibran

In the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.
Khalil Gibran

If you love somebody, let them go, for if they return, they were always yours. And if they don't, they never were. Khalil Gibran

Trust in dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity.
Khalil Gibran

But let there be spaces in your togetherness and let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.
Khalil Gibran

Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.
Khalil Gibran

Life without love is like a tree without blossoms or fruit.
Khalil Gibran

I have learned silence from the talkative, toleration from the intolerant, and kindness from the unkind; yet, strange, I am ungrateful to those teachers.
Khalil Gibran

Forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.
Khalil Gibran

Love... it surrounds every being and extends slowly to embrace all that shall be.
Khalil Gibran

Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars.
Khalil Gibran

We choose our joys and sorrows long before we experience them.
Khalil Gibran

Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself. They came through you but not from you and though they are with you yet they belong not to you.
Khalil Gibran

Yesterday is but today's memory, and tomorrow is today's dream.
Khalil Gibran

When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy. When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.
Khalil Gibran

March on. Do not tarry. To go forward is to move toward perfection. March on, and fear not the thorns, or the sharp stones on life's path.
Khalil Gibran

Your daily life is your temple and your religion. When you enter into it take with you your all.
Khalil Gibran

Faith is an oasis in the heart which will never be reached by the caravan of thinking.
Khalil Gibran

Love one another, but make not a bond of love: Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.
Khalil Gibran

Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding.
Khalil Gibran

A little knowledge that acts is worth infinitely more than much knowledge that is idle.
Khalil Gibran

Wisdom ceases to be wisdom when it becomes too proud to weep, too grave to laugh, and too selfish to seek other than itself.
Khalil Gibran

You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.
Khalil Gibran

I prefer to be a dreamer among the humblest, with visions to be realized, than lord among those without dreams and desires.
Khalil Gibran

All that spirits desire, spirits attain.
Khalil Gibran

Hallow the body as a temple to comeliness and sanctify the heart as a sacrifice to love; love recompenses the adorers.
Khalil Gibran
