“There are two merits that glorify a person: being courageous for a man and being virtuous for a woman. Besides these two, there is another merit that glorifies both man and woman: so much loving the homeland to an extent with being ready to sacrifice his/her life, if needed. Turks are such courageous and virtuous people. That is why you can kill a Turk but you can never defeat them.” PeopleIfsMenPersonsTwoSacrificeReadyNeededMen And WomenDefeatMeritCourageousVirtuousHomelandGlorify Author:Napoleon Bonaparte

We want to change the world with a Facebook like. That's not how the world works.” WorldSufferingBeliefSacrificeChanging The WorldVirtuous Author:Payam Akhavan
