  • I love you, my brother, whoever you are - whether you worship in a church, kneel in your temple, or pray in your mosque. You and I are children of one faith, for the diverse paths of religion are fingers of the loving hand of the one supreme being, a hand extended to all, offering completeness of spirit to all, eager to receive all.

  • Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself. They came through you but not from you and though they are with you yet they belong not to you.

    The Prophet "On Children" (1923)
  • You may strive to be like them but seek not to make them like you. For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.

    'The Prophet' (1923) 'On Children'
  • And if you would know God, be not therefore a solver of riddles. Rather look about you and you shall see Him playing with your children. And look into space; you shall see Him walking in the cloud, outstretching His arms in the lightning and descending in rain. You shall see Him smiling in flowers, then rising and waving His hands in trees.

    Khalil Gibran (2007). “Kahlil Gibran: Masterpieces”
  • Let your bending in the Archer's hand be for gladness, for even as he loves the arrow that flies, so he loves also the bow that is stable.

    Khalil Gibran (2007). “Kahlil Gibran: Masterpieces”
  • You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.

    Prophet (1923) "On Children"
  • You may give them your love but not your thoughts, for they have their own thoughts. You may house their bodies but not their souls, for their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.

    Prophet (1923) "On Children"
  • Who can depart from his pain and aloneness without regret? Too many fragments of the spirit have I scattered in these streets, and too many are the children of my longing that walk naked among these hills, and I cannot withdraw from them without a burden and an ache. It is not a garment I cast off this day, bit a skin that I tear with my own hands... Yet I cannot tarry longer.

  • You may give them your love, but not your thoughts. For they have their own thoughts.

    The Prophet "On Children" (1923)
  • Yes, there is a Nirvanah; it is leading your sheep to a green pasture, and in putting your child to sleep, and in writing the last line of your poem

    Khalil Gibran “The New Frontier and Sand and Foam”, Library of Alexandria
  • And if you would know God, be not therefore a solver of riddles. Rather look about you and you shall see Him playing with your children.

    Khalil Gibran (2007). “Kahlil Gibran: Masterpieces”
  • The things which the child loves remain in the domain of the heart until old age. The most beautiful thing in life is that our souls remain hovering over the places where we once enjoyed ourselves. I am one of those who remembers those places regardless of distance or time.

  • You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth./The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far.

    Khalil Gibran (2007). “Kahlil Gibran: Masterpieces”
  • Behold, I have reached the peak of the mountain and my spirit has taken flight in the heavens of freedom and liberation. I have gone far, far away, O children of my mother; the hills beyond the mists are now hidden from my view, the last traces of the valleys have been flooded by the ocean of serenity, and the paths and trails have been erased by the hand of oblivion. The roar of ocean waves has faded. I no longer hear anything but the anthem of eternity, which harmonizes with the spirit.

  • Some of our children are our justifications and some are but our regrets

  • Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself. They come through you but not from you, and though they are with you, yet they belong not to you. You may give them your love, but not your thoughts. For they have their own thoughts. You may house their bodies but not their souls, for their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams. You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you. For life goes not backward, nor tarries with yesterday.

    Wisdom  
    Prophet (1923) "On Children"
  • 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.

    Khalil Gibran “Selected Short Works of Khalil Gibran”, Library of Alexandria
  • The love of a parent for a child is the love that should grow towards separation.
