“Once you get into the desert, there’s no going back,” said the camel driver. “And, when you can’t go back, you have to worry only about the best way of moving forward. The rest is up to Allah, including the danger.”

If you can concentrate always on the present, you’ll be a happy man.

Life will be a party for you, a grand festival, because life is the moment we’re living right now.”
