Bakar bin Abdullah berkata : "Barangsiapa berkehendak untuk tidak memerlukan dunia, dengan dunia, niscaya adalah seperti pemadam api dengan rumput kering".
Ahli Hikmah: "Manusia yang paling sedikit marahnya, ialah Orang yang lebih berakal. Maka jikalau ia untuk dunia, niscaya adalah ia cerdik & tipu-daya. Dan jikalau ia untuk akhirat, niscaya adalah ia lemah-lembut & berilmu".
Never underestimate your potential and never be ashamed of what you are. Do your best especially when people expect you to do less because the greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do.
"My mind," he said, "rebels at stagnation. Give me problems, give me work, give me the most abstruse cryptogram or the most intricate analysis, and I am in my own proper atmosphere. I can dispense then with artificial stimulants. But I abhor the dull routine of existence. I crave for mental exaltation. That is why I have chosen my own particular profession, or rather created it, for I am the only one in the world."
-Sir Arthur Conan Doyle The Sign of The Four
Be men, or be more than men. Be steady to your purposes and firm as a rock. This ice is not made of such stuff as your hearts may be; it is mutable and cannot withstand you if you say that it shall not.
-Mary Shelley Frankenstein
"Holy men? Holy cabbages! Holy bean-pods! What do they do but live and suck in sustenance and grow fat? If that be holiness, I could show you hogs in this forest who are fit to head the calendar. Think you it was for such a life that this good arm was fixed upon my shoulder, or that head placed upon your neck? There is work in the world, man, and it is not by hiding behind stone walls that we shall do it."
-Sir Arthur Conan Doyle The White Company
It is an illusion that youth is happy, an illusion of those who have lost it; but the young know they are wretched, for they are full of the truthless ideals which have been instilled into them, and each time they come in contact with the real they are bruised and wounded.
-W. Somerset Maugham Of Human Bondage
