“There’s something amazing about this life. The very same worldly attribute that causes us pain is also what gives us relief: Nothing here lasts. What does that mean? It means that the breathtakingly beautiful rose in my vase will wither tomorrow. It means that my youth will neglect me. But it also means that the sadness I feel today will change tomorrow. My pain will die. My laughter won’t last forever but neither will my tears. We say this life isn’t perfect. And it isn’t. It isn’t perfectly good. But, it also isn’t perfectly bad, either.”

“إذا همت نفسك بمعصية فذكرها بالله، فإن أبت فذكرها بأخلاق الرجال، فإن أبت فذكرها بالفضيحة إذا علم الناس، فإن أبت فأعلم أن نفسك مريضة تحتاج علاج وعلاجها كثرة ذكر الله”
