  • There are those who give little of the much which they have - and they give it for recognition and their hidden desire makes their gifts unwholesome.

    Khalil Gibran (2007). “Kahlil Gibran: Masterpieces”
  • My Soul gave me good counsel, teaching me never to delight in praise or to be distressed by reproach. Before my Soul taught me, I doubted the value of my accomplishments until the passing days sent someone who would extol or disparage them. But now I know that trees blossom in the spring and give their fruits in the summer without any desire for accolades. And they scatter their leaves abroad in the fall and denude themselves in the winter without fear of reproof.

    "The Vision: Reflections on the Way of the Soul". Book by Kahlil Gibran, translated by Juan R. I. Cole, 1994.
  • Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself, but if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires.

    Khalil Gibran (2007). “Kahlil Gibran: Masterpieces”
  • Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself.

    Khalil Gibran (2007). “Kahlil Gibran: Masterpieces”
  • I prefer to be a dreamer among the humblest, with visions to be realized, than lord among those without dreams and desires.

    Vision  
  • The heart's affections are divided like the branches of the cedar tree; if the tree loses one strong branch; it will suffer but it does not die; it will pour all its vitality into the next branch so that it will grow and fill the empty place.

    Khalil Gibran (2007). “Kahlil Gibran: Masterpieces”
  • In the depths of your hopes and desires, lies your silent knowledge of the beyond, and like seeds dreaming beneath the snow, your heart dreams of spring. Trust the dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity.

    Khalil Gibran (2007). “Kahlil Gibran: Masterpieces”
  • Our God, who art our winged self, it is thy will in us that willeth. It is thy desire in us that desireth. It is thy urge in us that would turn our nights, which are thine, into days which are thine also. We cannot ask thee for aught, for thou knowest our needs before they are born in us: Thou art our need; and in giving us more of thyself thou givest us all.

    Art  
    Khalil Gibran (2007). “Kahlil Gibran: Masterpieces”
  • O love, whose lordly hand Has bridled my desires, And raised my hunger and my thirst To dignity and pride, Let not the strong in me and the constant Eat the bread or drink the wine That tempt my weaker self. Let me rather starve, And let my heart parch with thirst, And let me die and perish, Ere I stretch my hand To a cup you did not fill, Or a bowl you did not bless.

    "'Love' ('The Forerunner')". Poem by Khalil Gibran, gutenberg.net.au. 1920.
  • The significance of a man is not in what he attains, but rather what he longs to attain.

    Khalil Gibran “The New Frontier and Sand and Foam”, Library of Alexandria
  • But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires: To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night. To know the pain of too much tenderness. To be wounded by your own understanding of love; And to bleed willingly and joyfully. To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving; To rest at noon hour and meditate love's ecstasy; To return home at eventide with gratitude; And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise on your lips.

    Khalil Gibran (2007). “Kahlil Gibran: Masterpieces”
  • When your friend speaks his mind you fear not the 'nay' in your own mind, nor do you withhold the 'ay. And when he is silent your heart ceases not to listen to his heart; For without words, in friendship, all thoughts, all desires, all expectations are born and shared, with joy that is unacclaimed. When you part from your friend, you grieve not; For that which you love most in him may be clearer in his absence, as the mountain to the climber is clearer from the plain.

    Khalil Gibran, “Friendship IXX”
  • You are persecuted and despised. It were better that a person should be the oppressed than that he should be the oppressor; and fitter that he should be a victim to the frailty of human instincts than that he should be powerful and crush the flowers of life and disfigure the beauties of feeling with his desire.

  • In the depth of your hopes and desires lies your silent knowledge of the beyond.

    Khalil Gibran (2007). “Kahlil Gibran: Masterpieces”
  • Desire is half of life, indifference is half of death.

  • Life without love is like a tree without blossoms or fruit.” “Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself. To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night. To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving

  • When you were a wandering desire in the mist, I too was there, a wandering desire. Then we sought one another, and out of our eagerness dreams were born. And dreams were time limitless, and dreams were space without measure.

    Khalil Gibran (2007). “Kahlil Gibran: Masterpieces”
  • Strange, the desire for certain pleasures is a part of my pain.

  • There is a desire deep within the soul which drives man from the seen to the unseen, to philosophy and to the divine.

    "Mirrors of the Soul". Book by Kahlil Gibran, p. 49, "Al Ghazali", 1965.
  • Life is not only merriment,It is desire and determination.

  • All that spirits desire, spirits attain.
