إلهي إن كان هذا يرضيك فخذ حتى ترضى

God, if this pleases you, then take (from me) until you are pleased

-Imam Al Husayn’s words on the day of Ashura

“Not all toxic people are cruel and uncaring. Some of them love us dearly. Many of them have good intentions. Most are simply toxic to our being simply because their needs and way of existing force us to compromise ourselves and our happiness. They aren’t inherently bad people, but they aren’t the right people for us.”

— Daniell Koepke

Your words are not accidental, they expose you; the knowledgeable reveals her knowledge, the ignorant reveals his ignorance, the careful reveals his discretion, the reckless reveals her recklessness, the vain reveals his vanity, the humble their humility.

If you want to know someone, make them speak. It will soon become apparent.

— Tom Facchine

People speak sometimes about the “bestial” cruelty of man, but that is terribly unjust and offensive to beasts; no animal could ever be so cruel as a man, so artfully, so artistically cruel.

— Fyodor Dostoyevsky

Ali ibn Abi Talib said:

Spend but do not disclose it. Do not raise your personality to attract attention of the people. Rather, keep it secret and remain silent, you will then remain safe. The pious men will be satisfied with you and the evil people will remain dissatisfied.
