MOTTO

Barang siapa bersungguh-sungguh, sesungguhnya kesungguhan itu adalah untuk
dirinya sendiri. (QS: Al-Ankabut: 26)

Jika kamu berbuat baik (berarti) kebaikan itu untuk dirimu sendiri, dan jika kamu
berbuat jahat, maka kejahatan itu untuk dirimu sendiri (QS: Al-Isra’: 7)

Orang yang suka berkata jujur niscaya akan mendapatkan tiga hal, yakni
kepercayaan, cinta dan rasa hormat (Sayidina Ali bin Abi Thalib)

Jangan membuat putus asa dalam mengulang doa, saat Allah SWT menunda ijabah
doa itu. Dia lah yang menjamin ijabah doa tersebut menurut pilihan-Nya kepadamu,
bukan menurut pilihan seperti kehendakmu. Kelak pada waktu yang dikehendakiNya, bukannya menurut waktu yang kau kehendaki (Ibnu Atha’ilah)

Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be achieved by understanding. (Albert
Enstein)
I want freedom for the full expression on my personality. (Mahatma Gandhi)
I wish you well and so I take my leave, I pray you know me when we meet again.
(William Shakespeare)
Mistakes teach how to get the right thing (The Writer)
