“The greatest disease in the West today is not TB or leprosy; it is being unwanted, unloved, and uncared for. We can cure physical diseases with medicine, but the only cure for loneliness, despair, and hopelessness is love. There are many in the world who are dying for a piece of bread but there are many more dying for a little love. The poverty in the West is a different kind of poverty -- it is not only a poverty of loneliness but also of spirituality. There's a hunger for love, as there is a hunger for God.”
― Mother Teresa, A Simple Path: Mother Teresa

“يا قلب لا تقنع بشوك اليأس من بين الزهور

― أبو القاسم الشابي

“Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you’ve never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you. When something wonderful happens, you can’t wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement. They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself. Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful. There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around. You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who you are. The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song or walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever. Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it’s like being young again. Colours seem brighter and more brilliant. Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn’t exist at all. A phone call or two during the day helps to get you through a long day’s work and always brings a smile to your face. In their presence, there’s no need for continuous conversation, but you find you’re quite content in just having them nearby. Things that never interested you before become fascinating because you know they are important to this person who is so special to you. You think of this person on every occasion and in everything you do. Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon. You open your heart knowing that there’s a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible. You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that’s so real it scares you. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life.”
― Bob Marley

“You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She loved before she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She's not perfect—you aren't either, and the two of you may never be perfect together but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can. She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break—her heart. So don't hurt her, don't change her, don't analyze and don't expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she's not there.”
― Bob Marley

“Who are you to judge the life I live?
I know I'm not perfect
-and I don't live to be-
but before you start pointing fingers...
make sure you hands are clean!”
― Bob Marley

“The greatness of a man is not in how much wealth he acquires, but in his integrity and his ability to affect those around him positively.”
― Bob Marley

“The winds that sometimes take something we love, are the same that bring us something we learn to love. Therefore we should not cry about something that was taken from us, but, yes, love what we have been given. Because what is really ours is never gone forever.”
― Bob Marley

“Love would never leave us alone”
― Bob Marley

“إذا فاجأني الموت في وقت من الأوقات ، فإنني أصافحه و لا أخافه ، بقدر ما أخاف المرض ، فالمرض ألم مذل لا يحتمل ، لكن الموت ينهى كل شيء !..”

“إذا ميز الرجل المرأة بين جميع النساء؛ فذلك هو الحب.
إذا أصبح النساء جميعاً لا يغنين الرجل ما تغنيه امرأة واحدة؛ فذلك هو الحب.
إذا ميز الرجل المرأة لا لأنها أجمل النساء، ولا لأنها أذكى النساء، ولا لأنها أوفى النساء، ولا لأنها أولى النساء بالحب، ولكن لأنها هي هي بمحاسنها وعيوبها؛ فذلك هو الحب.”
― عباس محمود العقاد, سارة

“Everybody can be great...because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.”
― Martin Luther King Jr.

“ولقد يكون في الدنيا ما يُغني الواحد من الناس عن أهل الأرض كافّة.. ولكن الدنيا بما وسعت لا يمكن أبدا أن تغني محبا عن الواحد الذي يحبه! هذا الواحد له حساب عجيب غير حساب العقل.. فإن الواحد في الحساب العقلي أول العدد.. أما في الحساب القلبي فهو أول العدد وآخره .. ليس بعده آخـِـر إذ ليس معه آخـَر”
― مصطفى صادق الرافعي, أوراق الورد

“إن الله لا يُمسك عنّا فضله إلا حين نطلب ما ليس لنا أو ما لسنا له .”

“ينظر الحب دائماً بعينٍ واحدة؛ فيرى جانباً ويعمى عن جانب، ولا ينظر بعينيه معاً إلا حين يريد أن يتبين طريقه لينصرف”
― مصطفى صادق الرافعي, كلمة وكليمة

“واعلم أن أرفع منازل الصداقة منزلتان : الصبر على الصديق حين يغلبه طبعه فيسئ إليك ، ثم صبرك على هذا الصبر حين تغالب طبعك لكيلا تسئ إليه .

وأنت لا تصادق من الملائكة ، فاعرف للطبيعة الإنسانية مكانها فإنها مبنية على ما تكره ، كما هي مبنية على ما تحب ، فإن تجاوزت لها عن بعض ما لا ترضاه ضاعفت لك ما ترضاه فوق زيادتها بنقصها ، وسلم رأس مالك الذي تعامل الصديق عليه .”
― مصطفى صادق الرافعي, السحاب الأحمر

“silence is the language of god,
all else is poor translation.”
― Rumi
