Maajid Nawaz
“No idea is above scrutiny and no people are beneath dignity.”
Maajid Nawaz, Islam and the Future of Tolerance: A Dialogue

Albert Einstein
“The more I learn, the more I realize how much I don't know.”
Albert Einstein

David  Brooks
“In this scheme of things we don’t create our lives; we are summoned by life. The important answers are not found inside, they are found outside. This perspective begins not within the autonomous self, but with the concrete circumstances in which you happen to be embedded. This perspective begins with an awareness that the world existed long before you and will last long after you, and that in the brief span of your life you have been thrown by fate, by history, by chance, by evolution, or by God into a specific place with specific problems and needs. Your job is to figure certain things out: What does this environment need in order to be made whole? What is it that needs repair? What tasks are lying around waiting to be performed? As the novelist Frederick Buechner put it, “At what points do my talents and deep gladness meet the world’s deep need?”
David Brooks, The Road to Character

Dōgen
“Prefer to be defeated in the presence of the wise than to excel among fools.”
Dogen Zenji

David  Brooks
“Humility is the awareness that there’s a lot you don’t know and that a lot of what you think you know is distorted or wrong.”
David Brooks, The Road to Character
