true friend.
Return gift for gift.
Repay laughter
with laughter again
but betrayal with treachery.”

“It has been my observation that women are indeed crucial agents of change in the Arab world. I have always been impressed by their more progressive and enlightened thinking on the issues affecting Arab society. This was particularly true of the Iraqi women with whom I worked in Baghdad from June 2003 to January 2004. Far more sensible and realistic than the men, they are the key to cultural and political change in their world.”

“أطلب العلم ولا تكسـل فمـا
أبعد الخير على أهـل الكسـل
واحتفل للفقه فـي الديـن ولا
تشتغل عنـه بمـالٍ وخَـوَل
واهجر النوم وحصّلـه فمـن
يعرف المطلوب يحقر ما بذل
لا تقـل قـد ذهبـت أربابـه
كلّ من سار على الدرب وصل
في ازدياد العلم إرغام العـدى
وجمال العلم إصـلاح العمـل”
