"So persevere in patience; for the Promise of Allah is true: and whether We show thee (in this life) some part of what We promise them, or We take thy soul (to Our Mercy) (before that), (in any case) it is to Us that they shall (all) return." --- The Holy Qur'an [40:77]
Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts. There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature -- the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after winter. --- Rachel Carson
The strongest man is whoever can make his reason conquer his passions. --- Ali ibn Abi Talib (ra)
