KHALIL GIBRAN

And God loveth those who purify themselves...AlQuran Call the drummers, and tambourine players. March toward my grave dancing thus, happy, gay, intoxicated; with hands clapping, so that people would know that the friends of God, go happy and smiling toward the place of meeting. ..Rumi The appearance of things changes according to the emotions, and thus we see magic and beauty in them, while the magic and beauty are really in ourselves.....Khalil Gibran A look which reveals inward stress adds more beauty to the face no matter how much tragedy and pain it bespeaks, but the face in which, in silence, does not announce hidden mysteries, is not beautiful regardless of the symmetry of its features. The cup does not entice our lips unless the wine's colour is seen through the transparent crystal.....Khalil Gibran

when arrogance creeps in, look down and remember you were made from clay. When struck by inferiority, look up and remember God breathed His spirit in to you. 2.28.2001 words by Farah Janjua

A woman is like a tea bag - you never know how strong she is until she gets in hot water . Eleanor Roosevelt. The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww! - Hendler Jack Kerouac "Every passing minute is a chance to turn it all around" "And those who were seen daNcing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music" - Friedrich Nietzsche "Tenderness & Kindness are not the signs of weakness and despair but only manifestations of strengths and resolution" if language is not correct, then what is said is not what is meant; if wt is said is not what is meant, then wt ought to be done remains undone. ...confucius "Yesterday is history, tommorrow is mystery, today is a gift, that's why it's called Present" Master Oogly in Kungfu Panda 'A champion is someone who gets up when he can't'...LOST 'One often meets his destiny on the road he takes to avoid it'...kungfu panda
