Honor Quotes

This is because the Messenger Muhammad said, ‘Whoever insults a Prophet, kill him.’”

“I have a different idea of elegance. I don't dress like a fop, it's true, but my moral grooming is impeccable.

I wear my deeds as ribbons, my wit is sharper then the finest mustache, and when I walk among men I make truths ring like spurs.”
