Asalamualaikum

MashAllah I absolutely love the random quotes as you probably already know!

Martin Luther King Jr and Abraham Lincoln have really good quotes.

You can search their names in Thinkexist.com
You can pretty much search anyone there.

If I were an Arab leader, I would never sign an agreement with Israel. It is normal; we have taken their country. It is true God promised it to us, but how could that interest them? Our God is not theirs. Their have been anti-Semitism, the Nazis, Hitler, Auschwitz, but was that their fault? They see but one thing: we have come and we have stolen their country. Why would they accept that? - David Ben Gurion, first prime minister of Zionist entity.

"Do not speak much without mentioning Allah because you will harden your hearts. A hard heart is far from Allah, but you do not know. Do not look at the wrong actions of people as if you were lords. Look to your wrong actions as if you were slaves. Some people are afflicted by wrong action and some people are protected from it. Be merciful to the people of affliction and praise Allah for His protection." - Jesus (Peace be upon him)

wow really nice
