    “Run my dear,
    From anything
    That may not strengthen
    Your precious budding wings.

    Run like hell my dear,
    From anyone likely
    To put a sharp knife
    Into the sacred, tender vision
    Of your beautiful heart.”

    Thich Nhat Hanh
    “People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle. But I think the real miracle is not to walk either on water or in thin air, but to walk on earth. Every day we are engaged in a miracle which we don't even recognize: a blue sky, white clouds, green leaves, the black, curious eyes of a child—our own two eyes. All is a miracle.”

    Abu Hamid al-Ghazali
    “How many nights have you remained awake repeating science and poring over books, and have denied yourself sleep. I do not know what the purpose of it was. If it was attaining worldly ends and securing its vanities, and acquiring its dignities, and surpassing your contemporaries, and such like, woe to you and again woe; but if your purpose in it was the vitalizing of the Law of the Prophet, and the training of your character, and breaking the soul commanding to evil, then blessed are you and again blessed.”
