Short but Sweet Kahlil Gibran


You may chain my hands, you may shackle my feet; you may even throw me into a dark prison; but you shall not enslave my thinking, because it is free.

It is slavery to live in the mind unless it has become part of the body.
Tenderness and kindness are not signs of weakness and despair but manifestations of strength and resolution.

Passionate love is a quenchless thirst.

To be closer to god, be closer to people.


Faith is a knowledge within the heart, beyond the reach of proof.


Sayings remain meaningless until they are embodied in habits.


I discovered the secret of the sea in meditation upon the dewdrop.

 Money is like love; it kills slowly and painfully the one who withholds it, and enlivens the other who turns it on his fellow man.

 For to the bee a flower is a fountain if life
And to the flower a bee is a messenger of love
And to both, bee and flower,
the giving and the receiving is a need and an ecstasy.
