Pahlawan bukanlah orang yang berani menetakkan pedangnya ke pundak lawan, tetapi pahlawan yang sebenarnya ialah orang yang sanggup menguasai dirinya ketika ia marah.
Nabi Muhammad Saw.
Orang‐orang menjadi begitu luar biasa ketika mereka mulai berpikir bahwa mereka bisa melakukan sesuatu. Saat mereka percaya pada diri mereka sendiri, mereka memiliki rahasia kesuksesan yang pertama.
