“Beklemek, insanın hiçbir şey yapmıyormuş gibi görünürken çok şey yaptığı nadir bir hareket halidir. Hareket, tanımı itibariyle göz kırpmak dahil gözlemlenebilen her şeyi anlatırken, beklemek, bana kalırsa, harekettir.. Gözlemlenemeyen ama fevkalade çaba gerektirebilen bir hareket. Düşündüğünüz, olmasını istediğiniz bir durumun zamanının gelmesi için ödüle, hazza ulaşmayı ertelediğiniz, dikkat, duygu ve dürtü kontrolü becerilerinizi kullandığınız bir hareket. Bunu yapabilmek, yapmak için uğraşmak ve uğraşmaya devam etmek önemli. Bazen yapılacak iş, işi yapmaya devam etmektir. Bu da sabır gerektirir.”

“To be sure, there is no method, no single way, to anchor in Faith and employ Patience. Letting go, trusting the process of Life and living with Faith and Patience, is the way. Living through our crippling bankruptcy for over 12 years now, Vaani and I have realized that Faith does not always solve our problems immediately. But having Faith in the process of Life – that what goes around, comes around; that what goes up will come down some day, only to go back up another day – certainly helps us to cope with our problems better. Keeping the Faith also teaches us Patience. Unless you embrace these twin philosophies, and live practising them together, you will not see the miracles in your everyday Life.”

“There are times when it is prudent to turn the other cheek, especially when it comes to spouses, family members, and friends. Courtesy and love are contagious and are far more effective over the long-haul than trying to ruin the reputation and well-being of another. (Chapter 7)”

“আমি অবশ্যই তোমাদেরকে পরীক্ষা করবো কিছু ভয়-ভীতি ও ক্ষুধা-অনাহার দ্বারা এবং জান-মাল ও ফল-ফসলাদির (ব্যবসা বাণিজ্য, চাকুরী ইত্যাদি) ক্ষতি দ্বারা। এরূপ অবস্থায় (যারা ধৈর্য্যর সাথে এসকল পরীক্ষায় উত্তীর্ণ হবে) তুমি সেই সব ধৈর্য্যশীলদের (জান্নাতের) সুসংবাদ দাও। (সূরা আল-বাকারা, ২ঃ১৫৫)”
