“Nobody but you have to believe in your dreams to make them a reality.”

“Due to the monstrous activity of a handful of extremists, the majority of the human society has been conditioned to believe that the term 'musalman' is somehow synonymous with terrorism. But the reality is, the term 'musalman' refers to someone with 'musallam iman,' that means, a pure conscience. Thus any individual whose conscience is pure and clear, is a musalman or muslim, regardless of socio-religious background. Likewise, any human being who loves his or her neighbor is a Christian. Hence, scriptures can't define your religion, only your actions with other people do.”

“Say, you teach a five year old child a few verses from the Bible. And after memorizing them, he will become a part scholar in Christian theology. But that won’t make him realize what Jesus actually meant when he said 'love thy neighbor'.”

“A wise person strives to reach self-transcendence by engaging in delicate contemplation, while avoiding the snare of self-denigration’s negative invocation.

Does he question whether or not he is doing the right thing as he tears into a zebra’s flesh?” he snarled. His next words were slow and measured, and more to himself than to Natalya. “No….he knows only that he has teeth and claws….and an insatiable lust for blood.”

“The eye, though small, sees remarkable things. The ear, though small, hears remarkable things. The hand, though small, carries remarkable things. The foot, though small, transports remarkable things. The tongue, though small, utters remarkable things. The mind, though small, perceives remarkable things. The heart, though small, contains remarkable things. The soul, though small, experiences remarkable things.”

“Calm is the best revenge”

“A good man can be destroyed by the association with men of evil character. A wise man can learn from them”

“True understanding lies beyond the desert”

“Know the laws before you break them”

“Experience is hard to acquire. Only the wise acquire it”

“True freedom is in not having a master, but in making the master your slave”

“Some people have the license to sin: Soldiers, to kill; politicians, writers, priests, businessmen, married man and women, to lie; and married couples to have sex”

“It's not what we can do that makes us great, but what we can do but don't which make us great”

“If there is no reward, there is no reason to run”

“You cannot skip the beginning and hope to reach the end. You will fall as soon as you get there”

“If you want an abscess to cure you must press it hard”

“The problem with satisfaction is it's a bottomless pit”

“We are looking for value, guidance, advice, inspiration; for someone to show us the way. When we find him, he is our hero”

“If you think you can't, you're wrong and right”

“You can have some, but not all. Wanting to have it all is a sure recipe for disaster”

“The hardest thing is a man to truly know himself”

“Keeping hatred against someone is like helping him to torture you”
