“أتعرف ما معنى الكلمة؟
مفتاح الجنة في كلمة
دخول النار على كلمه
وقضاء الله هو كلمه
الكلمة لو تعرف حرمه زاد مزخور
...
الكلمة نور ..
وبعض الكلمات قبور
وبعض الكلمات قلاع شامخة يعتصم بها النبل البشري
الكلمة فرقان بين نبي وبغي
بالكلمة تنكشف الغمة
الكلمة نور
ودليل تتبعه الأمة .
عيسى ما كان سوى كلمة
أضاء الدنيا بالكلمات وعلمها للصيادين
فساروا يهدون العالم ..
الكلمة زلزلت الظالم
الكلمة حصن الحرية
إن الكلمة مسؤولية إن الرجل هو كلمة، شرف الله هو الكلمة”
― عبد الرحمن الشرقاوي, الحسين ثائرًا. شهيدًا

“Humans are often more stupid than they realize. Because of our weaknesses are so easily exploited. Just like a child's clumsy fingers messing up the buttons on a shirt. It's easy to mock someone who buttoned his shirt wrongly. It's easy to mock someone who had buttoned wrongly yet remains oblivious to it. But there are also people who completely fail to realize that they buttoned them all wrongly. Just a moment's error, a wrong choice, traps us on the road of no return. But who can reprimand them for that? Why can't humans be lonely? Why can't we yearn for those right by our side? On such a cold lonely night, who can stand to bear it alone? Imagine the fright when we realize the severity of our mistakes. Whoever said love was a happy affair?”

“The fact that good people can be forced to do wrong doesn’t make them less good. But it also doesn’t make the wrong less wrong.”

“When people want to win they will go to desperate extremes. However, anyone that has already won in life has come to the conclusion that there is no game. There is nothing but learning in this life and it is the only thing we take with us to the grave—knowledge. If you only understood that concept then your heart wouldn’t break so bad. Jealousy or revenge wouldn’t be your ambition. Stepping on others to raise yourself up wouldn’t be a goal. Competition would be left on the playing field, and your freedom from what other people think about you would light the pathway out of hell.”
