“Most of what passes for legitimate entertainment is inferior or foolish and only caters to or exploits people's weaknesses. Avoid being one of the mob who indulges in such pastimes.

If you yourself don't choose what thoughts and images you expose yourself to, someone else will, and their motives may not be the highest.

"Be not distressed!" in accents firm, The Prophet's voice replied; "For God is mightier far than they, And God is on our side. "Will He we live, no mortal power Can take our lives away; Will He we die, to Him we pass; No need to feel dismay.

Einen zum Küssen und Augenzubinden, einen zum lustige–Streiche-erfinden. Einen zum Regenbogen-suchen-gehen und einen zum fest-auf-dem-Boden-stehn.
