"Everyone, when they are young, knows what their destiny is."

"people are capable, at any time in their lives, of doing what they dream of."

"People learn, early in their lives, what is their reason for being, maybe that's why they give up on it early, too."

"people need not fear the unknown if they are capable of achieving what they need and want."

"because life is the moment we're living right now."

"Although the vision of the date palms would someday be just a memory, right now it signified shade, water, and a refuge from the war."

"God revealed his secrets easily to all his creatures."

"The closer he got to the realization of his dream, the more difficult things became."

"The secret is here in the present. If you pay attention to the present, you can improve upon it. And, if you improve on the present, what comes later will also be better. Forget about the future, and live each day according to the teachings, confident that God loves his children. Each day, in itself, brings with it an eternity."

"I can only tell you what I saw. If you don't want to believe me, you don't have to do anything about it."

"Don't give in to your fears, if you do, you won't be able to talk to your heart."

"There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure." 

"When you are loved, you can do anything in creation. When you are loved, there's no need at all to understand what's happening, because everything happens within you," 

"when we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better, too." 

"No matter what he does, every person on earth plays a central role in the history of the world. And normally he doesn't know it."
