Book cover for ‫أوراق شمعون المصري‬
القدَرُ يا بني هو التدبيرُ بميزان الحكمة، واللّطفُ بميزانِ الرحمة، والتقويمُ بميزان العدل، وكل ما يقدِّره الله لنا يكون إما لحكمةٍ يدبِّرها، أو لطفٍ من رحمته، أو تقويمٍ لما أعوجَّ من أمرنا، ولذا وجب علينا الثناء على قدره في كل حال. نزلت ...more

Stephen        King
“There came a time when you realized that moving on was pointless. That you took yourself with you wherever you went.”
Stephen King, Doctor Sleep

Ashly Lorenzana
“We judge others instantly by their clothes, their cars, their appearance, their race, their education, their social status. The list is endless. What gets me is that most people decide who another person is before they have even spoken to them. What's even worse is that these same people decide who someone else is, and don't even know who they are themselves.”
Ashly Lorenzana

Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
“What you seek is seeking you.”
Mawlana Jalal-al-Din Rumi

Steve Jobs
“Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life.

Almost everything--all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure--these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important.

Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.

No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet, death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it, and that is how it should be, because death is very likely the single best invention of life. It's life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new.”
Steve Jobs

Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
“Don’t grieve. Anything you lose comes round in another form.”
Rumi
