“فكل ساعة قابلة لأن تضع فيها حجراً يزداد به صرح مجدك ارتفاعاً ، و يقطع به قومك في السعادة باعاً أو ذراعاً ، فإن كنت حريصاً على أن يكون لك مجدك الأسمى ، و لقومك السعادة العظمى ، فدع الراحة جانباً ، و اجعل بينك و بين اللهو حاجباً”
― محمد الخضر حسين

“I don’t regret anything I’ve ever done in life, any choice that I’ve made. But I’m consumed with regret for the things I didn’t do, the choices I didn’t make, the things I didn’t say. We spend so much time being afraid of failure, afraid of rejection. But regret is the thing we should fear most. Failure is an answer. Rejection is an answer. Regret is an eternal question you will never have the answer to. “What if…” “If only…” “I wonder what would have…” You will never, never know, and it will haunt you for the rest of your days.”
― Trevor Noah, Born a Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood

“You only get one life. It's actually your duty to live it as fully as possible.”

“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.”
