Quotes by Khalil Gibran - II


Every man loves two women; the one is the creation of his imagination and the other is not yet born.

God made Truth with many doors to welcome every believer who knocks on them.

I have learnt silence from the talkative, toleration from the intolerant, and kindness from the unkind; yet strange, I am ungrateful to these teachers.

If indeed you must be candid, be candid beautifully.

If you cannot work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work.

If you reveal your secrets to the wind you should not blame the wind for revealing them to the trees.

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

It is well to give when asked, but it is better to give unasked, through understanding.

The deeper sorrow carves into your being the more joy you can contain.

The lights of stars that were extinguished ages ago still reaches us. So it is with great men who died centuries ago, but still reach us with the radiations of their personalities.

The optimist sees the rose and not its thorns; the pessimist stares at the thorns, oblivious of the rose.

Courage

  1. Courage is not only gifted to the few brave ones, it is something that lies within you, Where you can draw upon its strength and power, in time of crisis, fear and decisions.
  2. There is in true beauty, as in courage, somewhat which narrow souls cannot dare to admire.
  3. Courage is not something mysterious or unattainable, It is something you can exercise in your daily life choices, You can let it bring to you travel paths, And make you more conscious and aware of your life.
  4. True courage is not the absence of fear -- but the willingness to proceed in spite of it.
  5. Courage does not have to roar to be heard, It does not mean being totally fearless and being invincible, It could mean taking actions, taking risk, taking stand, Standing up for yourself, standing by your choices, And sticking to your dreams when others jeered.
  6. Each time we face our fear, we gain strength, courage, and confidence in the doing.
  7. Courage could be the will to live in spite of the struggles, In spite of your fears and phobias, in spite of what others said, In spite of criticism and disapproval's, in spite of mistakes and failures,  In spite of everything that stand between you and your dreams.
  8. Courage is not defined by those who fought and did not fall, but by those who fought, fell and rose again.
  9. Courage could mean trying over and over again when you failed, Admitting that you are sorry when you are in the wrong, Saying "I Love You" when your love is angry, Having a baby when the idea of being a parent scared you,  Listening to your heart when others called you a fool, Following your dreams even when others discourage you,  And staying true to yourself when others want you in another way.
  10. Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.
  11. Hold steadfast to your dreams, your heart and yourself, And Courage will not abandon you, But follow you whenever you choose to go.
