Nature Speaks

When the inner man is awakened, you can be sure that the person concerned will always give a just verdict in his dealings with others. It is no longer within his power to be cruel or unjust.

Converting Non-Peace into Peace

Man needs to convert non-peace into peace, for only after this conversion is he able to play the role of a peaceful person.

Ignorance is not bliss

An ignorant person is easily incited to destructive activities but, when called upon to perform constructive work, he remains impassive, as if he has not even heard the call.

Believer’s Worldview

For a believer, if everything goes according to plan, a feeling of thanksgiving is aroused in him, but should his plans go awry, he realizes that man can only propose; it is God who disposes. In this way he comes closer to the Lord.

Tolerance

Tolerance is one of the greatest factors in stabilizing human relationships.

Noble Character

 One has attained a superior moral status when one becomes indifferent to praise or blame, and, when, his opinion of others does not depend upon whether they agree or disagree with him.

Descent of man

Anger gives a momentary illusion of strength, but in actual fact it weakens, degrades and destroys. For that is what causes a man to forget all his moral precepts and throw his principles to the winds.

Without Money

Even without money, other kinds of resources or guidance, a man can achieve success, provided his desire to do so is keen enough and his diligence matches his determination.

Life’s building

Building one’s life is not just like building a child’s play house, which can be put up in a matter of hours. It is a matter of putting down roots, and tolling patiently ever upwards.

Reason for failure

The cause of man’s failure often lies in his failure to recognize major threats and his determination to concentrate all his efforts on minor dangers.
