One must desire something to be alive

To live remains an art which everyone must learn, and which no one can teach.

“There is no God but You (Allah Almighty), You are far exalted and above all weaknesses, and I was indeed the wrongdoer”. AL-QURAN

One who takes account of his shortcomings will always gain by it; one who is unmindful of them will always suffer. One who is afraid of the Day of Judgment, is safe from the Wrath of Allah. One who takes lessons from the events of life, gets vision, one who acquires vision becomes wise and one who attains wisdom achieves knowledge (Hazrat Ali (R.A)

Success is the result of foresight and resolution, foresight depends upon deep thinking and planning and the most important factor of planning is to keep your secrets to yourself. Hazrat Ali

"I have fought in more than 100 battle . Do you see a space of the span of a hand on my leg, chest, arm which is not covered by some scar of the wound of a sword or an arrow or a lance? And here I am, dying in my bed, like cattle die. May the eyes of cowards never sleep."

These words were the last words of Hazrat Khalid bin Waleed (R.A) when he was sick in his death bed, greatest general ever known in the history of Islam....who broke nine sword in battle of Mutah and who would not fear entering the Persian Armies alone....but how could he get Martyred in a battle with Kuffar...as he was the 'sword of Allah' and that never gets broken in a battle with Kuffar....none the less an exemplary life for every living Muslim (especially in current times when armies of the whole world descend upon Muslims)

He (R.A) also said Said this when one of his commander tried to stop him from taking a dangerous rout direct to Syria from Iraq through Syrian desert and said that ..You cannot take this route with an army. By Allah, even a lone traveler would attempt it at the peril of his life. It involves five days of extreme hardship without a drop of water and the ever-present danger of losing the way.

"We shall take this route; let not your resolve be weakened. Know that the help of Allah comes according to your desire. Let not the Muslims fear anything so long as they have the help of Allah."

Reveal not every secret you have to a friend, for how can you tell but that friend may hereafter become an enemy. And bring not all mischief you are able to upon an enemy, for he may one day become your friend. Saadi

By all means marry; if you get a good wife, you'll be happy. If you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher. Socrates

Remember that there is nothing stable in human affairs; therefore avoid undue elation in prosperity, or undue depression in adversity. Socrates

History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived, however, if faced with courage, need not be lived again. Maya Angelou

But lives though they are gone. As for the bad,
All that was theirs dies and is buried with them.

I would rather try to persuade a man to go along, because once I have persuaded him he will stick. If I scare him, he will stay just as long as he is scared, and then he is gone. Dwight D. Eisenhower

It is easy in the world to live after the world's opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude. Ralph Waldo Emerson

The brain is a wonderful organ. It starts working the moment you get up in the morning and does not stop until you get into the office. Robert Frost

Men show their characters in nothing more clearly than in what they think laughable. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Some people come into our lives and then leave very quickly. Some stay for a while and leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never the same

You can frown cause roses have thorns, or you can rejoice cause thorns have roses.

You haven't met yourself yet, but the advantage of meeting others in the meantime is that one of them may present you to yourself..

Life is not counted by the amount of breaths we take, but of the moments that leave us breathless.

In life, it seems that we can always reflect and appreciate the meaning or logic behind certain events...events that are absolutely vital for one's inner growth whether they are good or bad experiences...events that make perfect sense. So what does this mean? It means that everything that will happen in life will have a purpose, despite our difficulty in appreciating the significance of the moment within the moment, because there is Meaning behind and within life. So this very day and this very moment we are in the midst of something meaningful and of incomprehensible importance. Live wisely and live lovingly because where you are tomorrow is the culmination of what you do today. Do things right today and reflect on life tomorrow with a smile.

It's better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are not.

Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.
