Not life, but good life, is to be chiefly valued. (Socrates)

Humans in times of desperation believe in what they want to believe.

Insufficiency of grain does not kill people. What kills is the deficiency of LOVE.

Never explain yourself to anyone, because the person who likes you does not need it AND the person who dislikes you would not believe you.

We cannot beg someone to stay with us forever, we should accept that love doesn't give us license to own a person.

Be so rich that you can buy the most expensive thing you desire but be so expensive that no richness on the earth can buy you.

Never play with feelings of others, because you may win the game but you will surely lose the person forever. (WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE)

He who has a thousand friends has not a friend to spare,
And he who has one enemy will meet him everywhere.

Work isn't to make money; you work to justify life. ~Marc Chagall

“Courteous men learn courtesy from the discourteous”

In life, at sometime or another we come to a point where all relationships cease- where there is only us and ALLAH. There are no parents, brother or sister, or any friend. Then we realise that there is no earth under us nor there sky above, but only ALLAH who is supporting us in this emptiness. Then we realise our worth- it is not more than a grain of sand or the leaf of a plant. Then we realise our existence is only confined to our being. Our demise makes not a whit of difference to the world around us, nor the scheme of things.........We come to our senses; we understand our utter INSIGNIFICANCE......"THE PERFECT MENTOR" by Umera Ahmed

To be an adult is to be alone. Jean Rostand

Hope is a waking dream.

The biggest guru-mantra is: never share your secrets with anybody. It will destroy you.

The heights by great men, reached and kept, were not attained by sudden flights but they, while their companions slept, were toiling upwards in the night. (W H Longfellow)

No amount of guilt can change the past & no amount of worrying can change the future. Go easy on yourself, for the outcome of all affairs is determined by Allah's decree. If something is meant to go elsewhere, it will never come your way, but if it is yours by destiny, from you it cannot flee. [Umar Ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him)

Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak. Courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen. Winston Churchill
