“It may have to be used for self-defense or self-preservation, but we must always remember that self-restraint is pleasing in the eyes of Allah.”

At the same time the Muslims are commanded to exercise self-restraint as much as possible.

To Allah we belong and to Him is our return.

So long as you are satisfied that they are sincere and their acts support their declarations of peace with you, you should not consider yourself justified in pursuing them and warring against them

Even when we are fighting, it should be for a principle not out of passion.

Remember that if they had fought against you, your difficulties would have been increased. Their neutrality itself may be a great advantage to you..

Force is a dangerous weapon.

Approach or come: refers not to the physical act of coming, but to the mental attitude; the heart is mentioned for sincerity. When they sincerely promise not to fight against you, do not pursue them.

A few question marks are being asked in the Honduran defence

I am so glad people have started making films n martial arts and self-defense, which is actually the need of the hour.

but ignorance is a kind of insanity in the human animal. People who delight in torturing defenseless children or tiny creatures are in reality insane.

I have the Pleasure to assure you Congress pay particular Attention to the Defence of New Jersey, and hitherto have denied us nothing which we have Asked for that Purpose.

A 100 percent elimination policy (by Ankara of the Kurds) has forced me to defense and it has become a glorious defense of a people.

If we are attacked we can only defend ourselves with guns not with butter.

Invincibility lies in the defence; the possibility of victory in the attack.

You can be sure of succeeding in your attacks if you only attack places which are undefended.
