عَلى قَدْرِ أهْلِ العَزْم تأتي العَزائِمُ
‏وَتأتي علَى قَدْرِ الكِرامِ المَكارمُ

‏وَتَعْظُمُ في عَينِ الصّغيرِ صغارُها
‏وَتَصْغُرُ في عَين العَظيمِ العَظائِمُ

- المتنبي

Intellectuals are the people with the least chances to understand life truly, because they are always lost in the world of ideas rather than in the experiences of life.

الحِلمُ عَشِيرَة

— علي بن أبي طالب (ع)

When one's heart is weighed down with sorrows, even a smile becomes a triumphant act of courage.

الزُهدُ كُلّه بَينَ كَلِمَتَينِ مِنَ القرآن: «لِّكَيْلَا تَأْسَوْا عَلَىٰ مَا فَاتَكُمْ وَلَا تَفْرَحُوا بِمَا آتَاكُمْ» ومَنْ لَم يَأْسَ على المَاضي ولَم يَفرَح بالآتي، فَقَد أَخَذَ الزُّهدَ بِطَرَفَيه.

- علي بن أبي طالب (ع)

German: Wer mit Ungeheuern kämpft, mag zusehn, dass er nicht dabei zum
Ungeheuer wird. Und wenn du lange in einen Abgrund blickst, blickt der
Abgrund auch in dich hinein.

English: Battle not with monsters, lest ye become a monster, and if you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.

وأكرِمْ عَشيرَتَكَ فإنّهُم جَنَاحُكَ الذي بِهِ تَطير، وأصلُكَ الذي إلَيه تَصير، ويَدُكَ التي بِها تَصول.

- علي بن أبي طالب (ع)

People are becoming way more fragile and irresponsible; they are regressing into children.

Whereas most traditional healing systems have sought to understand the relations of the sick person to the wider cosmos and to make readjustments between individual and world, or society and world, the western medical tradition explains sickness principally in terms of the body itself—its own cosmos. Greek medicine dismissed supernatural powers, though not macrocosmic, environmental influences; and from the Renaissance the flourishing anatomical and physiological programmes created a new confidence among investigators that everything that needed to be known could essentially be discovered by probing more deeply and ever more minutely into the flesh, its systems, tissues, cells, its DNA.
