Moral indignation - jealousy with a halo.
Relying on God has to begin all over again every day as if nothing had yet been done.
I don't think of all the misery, but of the beauty that still remains.
Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction.
Christians have burned each other, quite persuaded That all the apostles would have done as they did.
The greatest quality of a man is to treat his enemies in a better way, for Allah himself showed kindness to his unbelievers.

That man has reached immortality who is disturbed by nothing material.
We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls.
You may never have proof of your importance but you are more important than you think. There are always those who couldn’t do without you. The rub is that you don’t always know who.
You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us. And the world will live as one.
