The worst of guardians is a cruel ruler. Beware of becoming one of them.
MuhammadRead
The worldly comforts are not for me. I am like a traveler, who takes rest under a tree in the shade and then goes on his way.
Interpretation
This quote suggests that worldly pleasures are temporary and not the ultimate goal in life.
In this quote, Muhammad expresses the idea that material comforts and possessions are transient and not what he seeks in life. Instead, he likens himself to a traveler who stops briefly for rest, emphasizing the importance of continuing one's journey in pursuit of higher goals or spiritual fulfillment, acknowledging that comfort is merely a pause rather than a destination.

I believe if there's any kind of God it wouldn't be in any of us, not you or me but just this little space in between.

The answer must be in the attempt.

As a singer, I've had many opportunities to travel, and one thing I've learned is that through my music, I can be accepted by people all over the world. I often wonder why so many of us can't accept people who are different here, in our country? It's just not fair to be prejudiced against those whose race, religion or colour aren't the same as ours.
Stone walls do not a prison make, nor iron bars a cage._x000D_ Minds innocent and quiet take that for a hermitage:_x000D_ If I have freedom in my love, and in my Soul I am free,_x000D_ Angels alone, that soar above, enjoy such liberty.
A thousand fantasies Begin to throng into my memory, Of calling shapes, and beckoning shadows dire, And airy tongues that syllable men's names On sands and shores and desert wildernesses
