Eloquence

“She sat still, trying to hush her secret heart.”
― Margaret Landon

“No book can be appreciated until it has been slept with and dreamed over.”
― Eugene Field

“If you only had 48 hours left to live, would you spend it like you normally spend your weekends? If not, why spend 2/7th of your life wasting your free time? After all, free time isn’t free. Free time is the most expensive time you have, because nobody pays for it but you. But that also makes it the most valuable time you have, as you alone stand to reap the profits from spending it wisely.”
― Jarod Kintz, I Should Have Renamed This

“إن كنت تغدو في الذنوب جليداً
و تخاف في يوم المعَاد وعيداً

فلقد أتاك من المهيمن عفوه
و أفاض من نِعَمِ عليك مزيداً

لا تيأسن من لطف ربك في الحشى
في بطن أمك مضغةً و وليداً

لو شاء أن تصلى جهنم خالداً
ما كان ألهم قلبك التوحيدا”
― محمد بن إدريس الشافعي, ديوان الإمام الشافعي
