Khalil Gibran Quotes

“Do not live half a life

and do not die a half death.

If you choose silence, 

then be silent.

When you speak, 

do so until you are finished.

If you accept, 

then express it bluntly.

Do not mask it.

If you refuse 

then be clear about it

for an ambiguous refusal 

is but a weak acceptance.

Do not accept half a solution

Do not believe half truths

Do not dream half a dream

Do not fantasize about half hopes.

Half the way will get 

you nowhere.

You are a whole that exists 

to live a life.

Not half a life.”

Khalil Gibran, The Prophet
