Was there ever a more horrible blasphemy than the statement that all the knowledge of God is confined to this or that book? How dare men call God infinite, and yet try to compress Him within the covers of a little book! ↗

Tuhanku Yang Maha Penyayang, ...Aku selalu merasa kurang, tak pandai, paling tak beruntung, dan terkadang batinku bertanya mengapa Engkau tak adil kepadaku. Aku sadar bahwa menyalahkan-Mu itu salah, dan karenanya Tuhanku maafkanlah aku. Tuhan, rahmatilah aku dengan kemandirian yang cukup untuk diriku sendiri, dan agar yang kulebihkan adalah untuk kebahagiaan sesama. Aamiin ↗

It is my strong conviction that a realist conception of human nature should be made a servant of an ethic of progressive justice and should not be made into a bastion of conservatism, particularly a conservatism which defends unjust privileges. ↗

I would hesitate to use the word 'success' in the way many people do. I don't know that I would apply it to what I've done as though I have now reached the ultimate goal. To me success is a continuing thing. It is growth and development. It is achieving one thing and using that as a stepping stone to achieve something else. Success comes as you have confidence in yourself. Self-confidence is built by succeeding, even if the success is small. It is the believing that makes it possible. ↗

The wise man will follow a star, low and large and fierce in the heavens, but the nearer he comes to it the smaller and smaller it will grow, till he finds it the humble lantern over some little inn or stable. Not till we know the high things shall we know how lovely they are. ↗

— G.K. Chesterton

Jangan berasa malu apabila kita tidak tahu tentang sesuatu. Membaca, mengkaji dan rajinlah bertanya. Sungguh kita tidak akan pernah rugi. Allah mengurniakan kehendak pada diri kita untuk menimba ilmu. Maknanya, Peluang sentiasa terbuka untuk kita menerokanya," Fidae'i Al Humaidi ↗

True religion should be able to respond to the dark melodies, the faulty and hideous sounds that echo from the heart of men. ↗

Sensible men are all of the same religion. Religious sentiments cannot be stirred up within righteous people of any religion for instigating them to do wrong to their own or fellow brethrens”. ↗
