محبت - مستنصر حسین تارڑ

محبت کتنی خوفناک چیز ہوتی ہے۔

 تم ایک اجنبی کو اپنا مالک بنا کر تمام تر طاقت اس کے ہاتھ میں دے دیتے ہو۔

 دکھ دینے کی، خوشی دینے کی، اداس کرنے کی طاقت۔

 مستنصر حسین تارڑ 

ہر نسل اپنی بھٹی میں اپنی آگ اور تجربوں میں پکتی ہے - مستنصر حسین تارڑ‏

Pashtun Proverb - Colonization

First comes one Englishman...

The original Pashtun proverb perfectly captures the creeping, three-stage nature of historical colonization: innocent scouting, systematic surveying, and eventual takeover.

“First comes one Englishman, as a traveler or for a shikar;

then come two and make a map;

then comes an army and takes the country. 

Therefore it is better to kill the first Englishman”

~ Pashtun Proverb referring to the British Colonization

All houses are dark until the mother wakes up - Khalil Gibran

 

All houses are dark until the mother wakes up. ~ Khalil Gibran.

From Essay "The Mother" (found in The Broken Wings):

"The mother is everything—she is our consolation in sorrow, our hope in misery, and our strength in weakness. She is the source of love, mercy, sympathy and forgiveness... The sun is the mother of the earth and gives its nourishment of heat; it never leaves the universe at night until it has put the earth to sleep... and the mother, the prototype of all existence, is the eternal spirit, full of beauty and love."

Be curious ― Aaron Swartz

 

“Be curious.

Try new things. 

What people call intelligence just boils down to curiosity.”

Destinies - Mahmoud Darwish

 

تمادينا بالتفكير ونسينا بأن الأقدار مكتوبة

ہم نے سوچ میں حد پار کر دی اور بھول گئے کہ تقدیر لکھی جا چکی ہے۔

We went too far in thinking and forgot that destinies are written.

Fear - Unknown

 I came across a book that said:

"Working out will make you feel weak, when it's actually making you stronger.

Learning new things will make you feel dumb, when it's actually making you smarter.

Investing in yourself will make you feel broke, when it's actually making you rich.

Facing your fears will make you feel terrified, when it's actually making you braver."

Never hold yourself back. Strive to be better tomorrow than you were today.

Thank yourself later.

Man in the Arena 

Theodore Roosevelt

This quote is from Theodore Roosevelt's speech titled "Citizenship in a Republic," delivered at the Sorbonne in Paris on April 23, 1910. It emphasizes the value of effort and courage in the face of criticism and failure, celebrating those who actively engage in life's challenges rather than merely observing from the sidelines.
