Quotes by Khalil Gibran

Let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.

Advance, and never halt, for advancing is perfection. Advance and do not fear the thorns in the path, for they draw only corrupt blood.

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

Nor shall derision prove powerful against those who listen to humanity or those who follow in the footsteps of divinity, for they shall live forever. Forever.

Doubt is a pain too lonely to know that faith is his twin brother.

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

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

Yesterday is but today’s memory, and tomorrow is today’s dream.

If my survival caused another to perish, then death would be sweeter and more beloved.

Death most resembles a prophet who is without honor in his own land or a poet who is a stranger among his people.
