“I think it’s important to reason from first principles rather than by analogy. The normal way we conduct our lives is we reason by analogy. [With analogy] we are doing this because it’s like something else that was done, or it is like what other people are doing. [With first principles] you boil things down to the most fundamental truths…and then reason up from there.”
― Elon Musk

“عن عمر بن الخطاب قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم :"إن من عباد الله ناسا، ماهم بأنبياء ولا شهداء ،يغبطهم الأنبياء والشهداء يوم القيامة بمكانهم من الله ،قالوا يا رسول الله فخبرنا من هم ، فقال هم قوم تحابوا بروح الله ، بغير أرحام بينهم ولا أموال يتعاطونها فوالله إن وجوههم لنور ،وإنهم لعلى نور ، لا يخافون إذا خاف الناس ولا يحزنون إذا حزن الناس قرأ "ألا إن أولياء الله لا خوف عليهم ولا هم يحزنون”
― محمد الغزالي, خلق المسلم
