Inspiration Quote by Kahlil Gibran — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“A little knowledge that acts is worth infinitely more than much knowledge that is idle.”

“I tell you as well as myself: what we see with our own eyes is nothing other than a cloud concealing what we should perceive with our inner sight, while what we listen to with our ears is merely a ringing sound disturbing what we should understand with our hearts. When we see a man being taken to prion by a police officer let us not hasten to assume he is a wrong-doer. When we see a corpse, and a man standing beside it with bloodstained hands, let us not conclude that this is a victim and his assassin. When we hear one man singing and another lamenting, let us ascertain which one of the two is truly happy.”

“Pity the nation that is full of beliefs and empty of religion.”

“Keep me away from the wisdom which does not cry, the philosophy which does not laugh and the greatness which does not bow before children.”

“Clarity lies in the calm wisdom of our own existence.”

“All fixed set patterns are incapable of adaptability or pliability. The truth is outside of all fixed patterns.”

“The mind unlearns with difficulty what it has long learned.”

“All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered; the point is to discover them.”

“Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.”

“Your sacred space is where you can find yourself again and again.”

“Inspiration exists, but it has to find us working.”
