Quote by Claudio Falcone

“Che si può essere forti senza essere crudeli. Che il potere può essere usato per proteggere invece che per opprimere. Che l'eleganza non è debolezza se nasconde una volontà di ferro.”

“کوئی غلط کام محض شرفِ صحابیت کی وجہ سے مشرف نہیں ہو جاتا بلکہ صحابی کے مرتبۂ بلند کی وجہ سے وہ غلطی اور زیادہ نمایاں ہو جاتی ہے۔ لیکن اس پر رائے زنی کرنے والے کو لازماً یہ احتیاط ملحوظ رکھنی چاہیے کہ غلط کو صرف غلط سمجھنے اور کہنے پر اکتفا کرے۔ اس سے آگے بڑھ کر صحابی کی ذات کو بحیثیتِ مجموعی مطعون نہ کرنے لگے۔”

“It is unlikely that many of us will be famous, or even remembered. But not less important than the brilliant few that lead a nation or a literature to fresh achievements, are the unknown many whose patient efforts keep the world from running backward; who guard and maintain the ancient values, even if they do not conquer new; whose inconspicuous triumph it is to pass on what they have inherited from their faiths, unimpaired and undiminished, to their sons. Enough, for almost all of us, if we can hand on the torch, and not let it down; content to win the affection, if it may be, of a few who know us, and to be forgotten, when they in their turn have vanished. The destiny of mankind is not wholly governed by its "stars.”
