“ويكثر قول الشعر في الحرب لا الهوى..
لأن الهوى لو قيس بالحرب جارح
/
وفي كل حرب ثم حق وباطل..
وفي الحب لا هذا ولا ذاك واضح
/
فإن قال لا أهوى فليس بصادق..
وإن قال أهوى أخجلته المذابح
/
وفي شعره معنى فصيح وغامض..
وفي صدره قلب مقيم ونازح
/
وشعب مقيم في خيام كأنها..
خيال من الشعر القديم يراوح
/
فقف عند رسم ما ترحل أهله..
ولكنه رسم لحزنك صالح
/
وما ضره هجر العشيرة إنما..
تقاعسها والموت غاد ورائح
/
إذا صار خذلان الأحبة دأبنا..
فمن عاش خسران ومن مات رابح
/
وإن كان هذا صلحنا وسلامنا..
فأخزى إلهي بعدها من يصالح”
― تميم البرغوثي

“اضرب عليا انا مش جارى يا قناص

من امتى خوفنا يابن الكلب ضرب رصاص

كل اللى شاف الشهيد بأة تاره تاره الخاص

الدم صاحى و عنيد و لا تقبلوش تربه

……….

يا شعب ياللى دفع تمن الشوارع دم

احفظ اسامى اللى ماتوا فى الشوارع صم

الشارع اللى اصطفى و قصر الامارة لم

ملوك قليلة الرباية ركبوا و اتركبوا

…………….

شعب بغزالة اتخنق قلب التاريخ فى يومين

لابس عباية جحا و هو صلاح الدين

بيكرم الانبيا و يهزق السلاطين

و الفجر خيله و حبات الرمال عربه

……..

يا شعب مصر

اكم فرعون و فرعونة ضربتوهم ضرب سجادة فى بلكونة

ضرب الملوك تربية صالحة و مضمونة

ما يبقوا بنى ادمين الا اذا اتضربوا

ضرب الملوك مصلحة

ضرب الملوك تأديب

محلى المماليك و هى بتجرى فى السراديب

و لولا ضرب شجرة الدر بالقباقيب

ما بين اغا و باش اغا

كانوا التتار غلبوا

…….”
― تميم البرغوثي

يمازحُ دهراً عابساً لا يُمازح

ففي كلّ حربٍ ثَمَّ حقٌ وباطلٌ
وفي الحبِّ لا هذا ولا ذاكَ واضحُ

فإن قال لا أهوى فليس بصادقٍ
وإن قال أهوى أخجلتهُ المذابحُ”
― تميم البرغوثي

“It is not that I'm so smart. But I stay with the questions much longer.”
― Albert Einstein

“The best thing for being sad," replied Merlin, beginning to puff and blow, "is to learn something. That's the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then — to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting. Learning is the only thing for you. Look what a lot of things there are to learn.”
― T.H. White, The Once and Future King

“The past is a place of reference, not a place of residence; the past is a place of learning, not a place of living.”
― Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart

“Don't Just

Don't just learn, experience.
Don't just read, absorb.
Don't just change, transform.
Don't just relate, advocate.
Don't just promise, prove.
Don't just criticize, encourage.
Don't just think, ponder.
Don't just take, give.
Don't just see, feel.
Don’t just dream, do.
Don't just hear, listen.
Don't just talk, act.
Don't just tell, show.
Don't just exist, live.”
― Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart

“There are years that ask questions and years that answer.”
― Zora Neale Hurston, Their Eyes Were Watching God

“As I began to love myself I found that anguish and emotional suffering are only warning signs that I was living against my own truth. Today, I know, this is “AUTHENTICITY”.

As I began to love myself I understood how much it can offend somebody if I try to force my desires on this person, even though I knew the time was not right and the person was not ready for it, and even though this person was me. Today I call it “RESPECT”.

As I began to love myself I stopped craving for a different life, and I could see that everything that surrounded me was inviting me to grow. Today I call it “MATURITY”.

As I began to love myself I understood that at any circumstance, I am in the right place at the right time, and everything happens at the exactly right moment. So I could be calm. Today I call it “SELF-CONFIDENCE”.

As I began to love myself I quit stealing my own time, and I stopped designing huge projects for the future. Today, I only do what brings me joy and happiness, things I love to do and that make my heart cheer, and I do them in my own way and in my own rhythm. Today I call it “SIMPLICITY”.

As I began to love myself I freed myself of anything that is no good for my health – food, people, things, situations, and everything that drew me down and away from myself. At first I called this attitude a healthy egoism. Today I know it is “LOVE OF ONESELF”.

As I began to love myself I quit trying to always be right, and ever since I was wrong less of the time. Today I discovered that is “MODESTY”.

As I began to love myself I refused to go on living in the past and worrying about the future. Now, I only live for the moment, where everything is happening. Today I live each day, day by day, and I call it “FULFILLMENT”.

As I began to love myself I recognized that my mind can disturb me and it can make me sick. But as I connected it to my heart, my mind became a valuable ally. Today I call this connection “WISDOM OF THE HEART”.

We no longer need to fear arguments, confrontations or any kind of problems with ourselves or others. Even stars collide, and out of their crashing new worlds are born. Today I know “THAT IS LIFE”!”
― Charlie Chaplin
