“There may be one fault in a man that conceals a thousand qualities, or one excellence that conceals a thousand faults. The little indicates much.”

Be sure that someday you’ll praise and thank God for your unanswered prayers that once you had wept for them.

Nothing kills the soul that commands to evil (Nafs al Ammarra) like seeing the beauty of the heart.

The salat can be made up for, but there is no making up for false show or outward worship without presence.

Love is a travel. All travelers whether they want or not are changed. No one can travel into love and remain the same.

If parts are always changing, the whole remains the same. A dead good man is replaced by a good man, a dead bad man is replaced by a bad man. While the whole remains the same, every day is different.

If the human being is a proud and honorable creature, he shouldn’t forget to act that way, even if he falls, even if the whole world is against him, even if he ends as a slave.

Intellect takes you to the door, but it doesn’t take you into the house.

The life we live is just a colourful and deposit toy. Some of us take it so seriously and fight and cry for it. Some of us break and throw it. Either we give extreme importance, either not enough. Better to stay far from extremes.

You can be everything in life but the important thing is to be a good person.

For anew Self to be born, hardship is necessary. Just as clay needs to go through intense heat to become strong, Love can only be perfected in pain.

Surrendering is not a weakness. At the contrary it is strength. The surrender stops living in boiling water and starts living in a secure place.

If you are insulted, if you are accused, if they gossip about you, don’t say anything bad. Don’t be the one who sees the shame, be the one who corrects it.

Be grateful! It is easy to thank after obtaining what you want, thank before having what you want.

The quest for Love changes us. There is no seeker among those who search for Love who has not matured on the way. The moment you start looking for Love, you start to change within and without.

A Christian should always remember that the value of his good works is not based on their number and excellence, but on the love of God which prompts him to do these things.

The only way to become excellent is to be endlessly fascinated by doing the same thing over and over. You have to fall in love with boredom.

The savants will write excellent volumes. There will be laureates. But wars will continue just the same until the forces of the circumstances render them impossible.

I was the kid who never won the races. I never jumped the highest. I wasn’t on the list of the high-achieving.

Less gossiping, more learning. Less complaining, more excelling. Less walls, more bridges. Less fear, more courage.

Opportunity expands when there is excellence and choice in education, when taxes are lowered, when every citizen has affordable, portable health insurance and when constitutional freedoms are preserved.

Next to excellence is the appreciation of it.

What is easy is seldom excellent.
