Kahlil Gibran's quotes

- Kahlil Gibran -

 "To understand the heart and mind of a person, look not at what he has already achieved, but at what he aspires to do."


 "If I can open a new corner in a man's own heart to him I have not lived in vain. Life itself is the thing, not joy or pain or happiness or unhappiness. To hate is as good as to love - an enemy may be as good as a friend. Live for yourself - live your life. Then you are most truly the friend of man. - I am different every day - and when I am eighty, I shall still be experimenting and changing. Work that I have done no longer concerns me - it is past. I have too much on hand in life itself."


 "And now you ask in your heart...

«How shall we distinguish that which is good in pleasure from that which is not good?»

Go to your fields and your gardens, and you shall learn that it is the pleasure of the bee to gather honey of the flower, but it is also the pleasure of the flower to yield its honey to the bee.

For to the bee a flower is a fountain of life, and to the flower a bee is a messanger of love, and to both, bee and flower, the giving and the receiving of pleasure is a need and an ecstasy."

- From the book The Profet
