“It’s difficult in times like these: ideals, dreams and cherished hopes rise within us, only to be crushed by grim reality. It’s a wonder I haven’t abandoned all my ideals, they seem so absurd and impractical. Yet I cling to them because I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart.”

“Don’t nourish your fears more than you nourish your hopes.”

“You can capture this body of mine, take away my freedom and enslave me. You may even have the power to capture my soul and sentence me to the realm of eternal darkness. But my dreams you cannot touch. They are my will―the very essence of who I am. In them I laugh. In them I cry. In them I love. And in them…..I live.My dreams are untouchable and unceasing.”

“But what a feeling can come over a man just from seeing the things he believes in and hopes for symbolized in the concrete form of a man. In something that gives a focus to all the other things he knows to be real. Something that makes unseen things manifest and allows him to come to his hopes and dreams through his outer eye and through the touch and feel of his natural hand.”

“We are not here concerned with hopes or fears, only with truth as far as our reason permits us to discover it.”

“إن بيننا وبين الله رابطة لا تنفصم، فإذا نحن أخضعنا أنفسنا لإشرافه – سبحانه وتعالى – تحققت أمنياتنا وآمالنا كلها.”

“A raindrop carries hopes & expectations, but a teardrop carries happiness & sadness.”

“Raindrops will always carry their dreams & hopes with them, no matter where they go.”

“He who robs us of our dreams robs us of our life.”
