MOTTO


Sesungguhnya Allah memberikan nikmat-Nya kepada hamba-hamba-Nya
sesuai dengan kemampuan-Nya dan mewajibkan mereka bersyukur sesuai
dengan kemampuan mereka.

Lebih baik letih karena kerja keras dan direndahkan karena belum mampu saat muda, daripada menyesal
menjadi orang tua yang miskin dan sakit-sakitan karena hanya mengejar kesenangan sementara saat muda.
