“When a language dies, so much more than words are lost. Language is the dwelling place of ideas that do not exist anywhere else. It is a prism through which to see the world.”

“القضاء (منذ كان في الدنيا قضاء) هو مقياس الخير في الأمم، وهو معیار العظمة فيها، وهو رأس مفاخر كل أمة حية راشدة. وليس القاضي موظفاً كالموظفين؛ فالموظفون، حتى الأمراء منهم والوزراء، أعوان الملك أو الرئيس وأتباعه، يأمرهم فيأتمرون ويدعوهم فيلبون، أمرهم من أمره وسلطانهم من سلطانه ، يتكلم بألسنتهم ويبطش بأيديهم. أما القاضي فلا حكم عليه إلا لربه، ولا استمداد له إلا من قلبه ؛ يتكلم بلسان الشرع، والشرع فوق الناس، ويحكم بحكم الله، وحكم الله على الجميع.”

“Experiments had shown that an atom is like a small solar system: the mass is concentrated in a heavy central nucleus, around which light electrons revolve, more or less like planets around the Sun.”

“For example, if your boss asks you to work the weekend to finish something worthwhile and challenging, you might be willing to give up a little of your personal life and health. Meaningful work can be energizing. And if things work out, perhaps you will be promoted because of your efforts. That's a trade-off that might charge you up in both the short run and the long run.
On the other hand, if your boss routinely asks you to work overtime for no good reason other than to claw through piles of brain-deadening administrative work, you probably need to look for a new job.
In both examples your boss is asking for extra work at the cost of your higher priorities, but only one of those situations increases your energy.”
