“Man finds his pathways: at first they were foot-tracks, as those of the beast in the wilderness; now they are swift and invisible: his thought dives through the ocean, and his wishes thread the air: has he found all the pathways yet? What reaches him, stays with him, rules him: he must accept it, not knowing its pathway.” MenFirstsFoundWishAcceptingKnowingAirFeetOceanTrackInvisibleBeastWildernessThreadNot KnowingPathways Book:Daniel Deronda: Top Novelist Focus Source: Daniel Deronda: Top Novelist Focus
“A wise man ought always to follow the paths beaten by great men, and to imitate those who have been supreme, so that if his ability does not equal theirs, at least it will savor of it.

“In the Name of Allah the Merciful, the Compassionate, Who manifests Himself through everything, the revelation of a clear knowing to whomsoever He wishes, peace be upon you, my son. This praise belongs to Allah Who manifests Himself on the head of a pin to whom He wishes, so that one testifies that He is not, and another testifies that there is none other than He. But the witnessing in the denying of Him is not rejected, and the witnessing in the affirming of Him is not praised.” NamesWishKnowingClearSonPraiseRevelationsMy SonCompassionateRejectedPinsMercifulAffirming Author:Mansur Al-Hallaj
