Khalil Gibran Quotes

In tragedy and despair, when an endless night seems to have fallen, hope can be found in the realization taht the companion of night is not another night, that the companion of night is day, that darkness always gives way to light, and that death rules only half of creation, life the other half.

It is said that the darkest hour of the night comes just before the dawn.

Even places that have been shrouded in darkness for billions of years can be illuminated. Even a stone from the bottom of a river can be used to produce fire. Our present sufferings, no matter how dark, have certainly not continued for billions of years--nor will they linger forever. The sun will definitely rise. In fact, its ascent has already begun.

The blackness would stir and eventually go away, and God would remain, a shining point of light in my heart. I would go on loving.

The blackest night must end in dawn, the light dispel the dreamer's fear.

How do you plan a rebirth? I'm not sure you do. You just stand in the darkness until you can't endure it any long, and then you move forward until you're standing in the light.

Behind the veil of each night, there is a smilling dawn.

No matter how dark the night, morning always comes, and our journey begins anew.

In the darkest place, shed the brightest light.

No matter how difficult the situation is, it won't last forever. What follows the night is the day. What follows the winter is the spring.

In the midst of darkness, light persists.

There will come a time when you believe everything is finished. That will be the beginning.

I will love the light for it shows me the way, yet I will endure the darkness because it shows me the stars.

And if you don't believe the sun will rise, stand alone and greet the coming night in the last remaining light.

It is always darkest just before the day dawneth.

And I saw darkness for weeks. It never dawned on me that I could come out of it, but you heal. Nature heals you, and you do come out of it. All of a sudden I saw a crack of light ... then all of a sudden I saw another crack of light. Then I saw forms in the light. And I recognized that there was no darkness, that in darkness there'll always be light.

But tomorrow I see a change, a chance to build anew, built on Spirit, intent of heart, and ideas based on truth. Tomorrow I wake with second wind and strong ideas of pride. I know I fought with all my heart to keep the dream alive.

It is never too late to begin rebuilding, Though all into ruins your life seems hurled; For see! how the light of the New Year is gilding The wan, worn face of the bruised old world.

Stars burn clear all night till dawn. Do that yourself, and a spring will rise in the dark with water your deepest thirst is for.

No sun outlasts its sunset, but will rise again and bring the dawn.

Have Hope. Though clouds environs now, And gladness hides her face in scorn, Put thou the shadow from thy brow, - No night but hath its morn.

No Winter lasts forever, no Spring skips its turn. April is a promise that May is bound to keep, and we know it.

Never are we nearer the Light than when the darkness is deepest.

Hope abides; therefore I abide. Countless frustrations have not cowed me. I am still alive, vibrant with life. The black cloud will disappear, The morning sun will appear once again In all its supernal glory.

Even in the winter, in the midst of the storm, the sun is still there. Somewhere above the clouds, it still shines and warms and pulls at the life buried deep inside the brown branches and frozen earth.
