PENSAMIENTOS DE KHALIL GIBRAN

Work is love made visible.
And if you cannot work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work and sit at the gate of the temple and take alms of those who work with joy.
For if you bake bread with indiffer
ence, you bake a bitter bread that feeds but half man's hunger.
And if you grudge the crushing of the grapes, your grudgedistils a poison in the wine.
And if you sing though as angels, and love not the singing, you muffle man's ears to the voices of the day and the voices of the night.

― Khalil 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."
-- Khalil Gibran

"L'aspetto delle cose varia secondo le emozioni; e così noi vediamomagia e bellezza in loro, ma, in realtà, magia e bellezza sono in noi."
"La apariencia de las cosas cambia de acuerdo a las emociones, y así vemos la magia y la belleza en ellos, pero en realidad, la magia y la belleza en nosotros."
--Kahlil Gibran

"Let there be spaces in your togetherness. Love one another but make not a bond of love. And stand together, yet not too near together. For the pillars of the temple stand apart. And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow."
--Khalil Gibran

“Your children are not your children.
Theyare 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 thou
ghts,
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For thir souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You maystrive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.
The archer sees the make upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far.
Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness.
For even as He loves thearrow that flies, so He also loves the bow that is stable.”

― Khalil Gibran

“You may forget with whom you laughed, but you will never forget with whom you wept. ”
― Khalil Gibran

“Let there be spaces in your togetherness, And let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. Filleach other's cup but drink not
from one cup. Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf. Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone, Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music. Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping. For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts. And stand together, yet not toonear together: For the pillars of the temple stand apart, And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow.”
― Khalil Gibran, The Prophet
