“Everything has something to undermine it, and every blessing has something to diminish it. The thing that undermines this religion and diminishes this blessing is those who criticize a great deal and those who stab in the back; they show you what you want to see and they conceal that which you dislike. They are wicked like ostiches.”

“Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Look at those who are lower than you and do not look at those who are higher than you. That is more likely to prevent you underestimating the blessing of Allah on you."”

“As God blesses your ministry with it, remember that those without it tend to criticize those with it, especially when you do things differently.”

“Blessed is trust, for it blesses both those who have it to give and those who receive it.”

“It's hard to tell who has your back, from who has it long enough just to stab you in it….”

“Religion is not a form of destruction in itself, but a blessing to those who have faith within them.”

“The love they felt wasn’t, of course, what it once had been;
the attraction between them had gradually diminished,
the attraction had diminished a great deal.
But to be separated, that wasn’t what they themselves wanted.”

“The best teachers are those who show you where to look, but don't tell you what to see.”

“There are those who so dislike the nude that they find something indecent in the naked truth.”

“Blessings come from a generous heart. Those who give are the most blessed.”
