“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

“إذا نَزَفَتْ جِرَاحُ الحُبِّ يوماً
وفاضَتْ بالدمِ القانِي قلوبُ
وغامَتْ في جَوانحنَا الأمَانِي
ولاحَ على مفَاتنهَا شُحُوبُ
وقادتْنَا الحياةُ إلى صراعٍ
معَ الآلامِ واخْتلفْتَ دُرُوبُ
فلا لومٌ علينَا إذْ عَشِقْنَا
ولكن كيفَ نَسْلو أَو نتُوبُ”
― محمد الثبيتي, ديوان محمد الثبيتي الأعمال الكاملة

“Never let hard lessons harden your heart; the hard lessons of life are meant to make you better, not bitter.”
― Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart

“Trust that some of the best days of your life haven’t even happened yet. There are going to be parties that leave you dancing until 6am, spontaneous adventures that teach you more than you ever learned in a classroom. There are going to be nights that will stay burned beneath your eyelids, memories that dance underneath your skin. Life is going to exceed your expectations, it is going to astonish you with its timing.

Remember — you have not felt it all.
The world still has so much left for you”
― Bianca Sparacino
