“وعظتني نفسي فعلمتني أن لا أطرب لمديح ولا أجزع لمذمة . وقبل أن تعظني نفسي كنت أظل مرتابا في قيمة أعمال وقدرها حتى تنبعث إليها الأيام بمن يقرظها أو يهجوها . أما الآن فقد عرفت أن الأشجار تزهر في الربيع وتثمر في الصيف ولا مطمع لها بالثناء . وتنثر أوراقها في الخريف وتتعرى في الشتاء ولا تخشى الملامة”

“When love beckons to you, follow him,
Though his ways are hard and steep. And when his wings enfold you yield to him,Though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you. And when he speaks to you believe in him,Though his voice may shatter your dreams as the north wind lays waste the garden.”
― The Prophet
