Philosophy Quote by Khalil Gibran — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Of life's two chief prizes, beauty and truth, I found the first in a loving heart and the second in a laborer's hand.”

“No man can reveal to you aught but that which already lies half asleep in the dawning of your knowledge.”

“For what is it to die but to stand naked in the wind and to melt into the sun?”

“On Pleasure”

“My house says to me, "Do not leave me, for here dwells your past.”

“He who is more mindful of one, loses the love and the faith of both.”

“This is philosophy, Fool. I have never had time to study such things.’ ‘No, Fitz, this is life. And no one has time not to think of such things. Each creature in the world should consider this thing, every moment of the heart’s beating. Otherwise, what is the point of arising each day?”

“if you want it really, you get it !!!”

“Be a life long or short, its completeness depends on what it was lived for.”

“Quando ouvimos os sinos, ouvimos aquilo que já trazemos em nós mesmos como modelo. Sou da opinião que não se deverá desprezar aquele que olhar atentamente para as manchas da parede, para os carvões sobre a grelha, para as nuvens, ou para a correnteza da água, descobrindo, assim, coisas maravilhosas. O génio do pintor há-de se apossar de todas essas coisas para criar composições diversas: luta de homens e de animais, paisagens, monstros, demónios e outras coisas fantásticas. Tudo, enfim, servirá para engrandecer o artista.”

“Tell them a lie big enough, they'll worship you as a sage. Tell them a truth big enough and they'll mock you.”
