Preserve your history and become everlasting; receive new life from the times that have gone by.

Muhammad IqbalMy ancestors were Brahmins. They spent their lives in search of god. I am spending my life in search of man.
Muhammad IqbalPhysiologically less violent and psychologically more suitable to a concrete type of mind.
Muhammad IqbalI lead no party; I follow no leader. I have given the best part of my life to careful study of Islam, its law and polity, its culture, its history and its literature.
Muhammad IqbalLook at the evils of the world around you and protect yourself from them. Our teachers give all the wrong messages to our youth, since they take away the natural flare from the soul. Take it from me that all knowledge is useless until it is connected with your life, because the purpose of knowledge is nothing but to show you the splendors of yourself!
Muhammad Iqbal
