Quote by Joe Kelly

“As the emergency personnel and squad cars descended on Pier Three that bitter afternoon, the same questions bounced from radio to radio. “What is Superman doing here?” “Why had the Man of Steel taken time to recover the body of a fifty-year-old Costa Rican Newspaper Man who never had been or done anything important?” Because not a single one of us is background noise. Because when one of us disappears… Someone should notice. Every person is a star. A Life. A Heart. A Voice. And when a voice is silenced by darkness another must rise to see that justice is done. Valentin Reyes, survived by his daughter, Maribella, was buried last Saturday at a small service, attended by three.”

“Not Everyone We Meet Crosses Our Path by Accident Some encounters in life seem to happen at exactly the right moment, almost as if they were meant to wake us up. They remind us that giving someone our trust is not something we should do too quickly. We first need to know people better, so that disappointment does not become too deeply connected to our feelings. When someone confronts us with the truth behind a performance or an insincere attitude, it hurts. Yet such an experience also reveals something important. It becomes a new life lesson that teaches us how things should not be. The painful part is that these lessons often feel expensive, because they come with hurt, sorrow, or disappointment. But at the same time, they are also valuable, because they can protect us for the rest of our lives from new problems and setbacks. Through hardship and painful experiences, we become wiser, as long as we do something with them and learn from them. That is how we meet both good and difficult people in life, and through those experiences and events we are led toward greater insight and a better life. Encounters with others always give us a chance to learn. Everyone experiences that in a different way, but it remains important to stay alert and not believe everything too quickly. That is how we continue to discover that every day we live on earth brings another 24 hours filled with life lessons.
Not every meeting is accidental, because some people cross our path to teach us something we might otherwise never have understood. Thank You for reading. I wish You all the very best and, above all, good health. Real thoughts. Real life. Real meaning. Author © Jan Jansen Easy Branches Follow for more quotes and stories”

“...The Qur'an cannot be translated. ...The book is here rendered almost literally and every effort has been made to choose befitting language. But the result is not the Glorious Qur'an, that inimitable symphony, the very sounds of which move men to tears and ecstasy. It is only an attempt to present the meaning of the Qur'an-and peradventure something of the charm in English. It can never take the place of the Qur'an in Arabic, nor is it meant to do so...”
