This was a gift from a friend of mine, which I love to re-read ever so often, & it always rings true for our times....... an except from the book: "When indeed shall we learn that we are all related one to the other, that we are all members of one body? Until the spirit of love for our fellow men, regardless of race, color or creed, shall fill the world, making real in our lives and our deeds the actuality of human brotherhood- until the great mass of the people shall be filled with the sense of responsibility for each other's welfare, social justice can never be attained".

الرحمة أهم من الحكمة.
والإعتراف بهذا هو بداية الحكمة.
"تيودور"

الحكمة .. تعني أن نؤمن بأن آرائنا ووجهات نظرنا غير معصومة من الخطأ.
والحكمة .. تعني أننا تؤمن بأن معظم ما نعول عليه غير مؤكد كما أنه لا يتسم بالاستقرار.

إختيار اللوحات جميل، كل لوحة غاية في الجمال والروحانية والرهبة.

إنما مقولات التنمية البشرية دي فا أنا مش من محبي أدب الفانتازيا بصراحة.

لكما قرأت نوعًا من هذه الكتب التي تحمل بعض كلمات ادعى آصحابها أنها حكم
تألمت
إلى متى سنظل نجتر حكم غيرنا وندعي أنها الحكمة
متى سنبدأ نحن بكتابة حكمنا الخاصة
ألسنا نعيش الحياة مثلهم
،نخ،ض غمار التجارب
ألم تذقنا الحياة مثلما أذاقتهم
متى نوثق ما تعلمناه نحن كذلك

Beautiful artwork and inspiring quotes. Much like the memes I collect online, but in book form. This little treasure will never be far from my bedside table.
