Cool thread B)

Sis baree...your quote is from the band Five for Fighting, and the song is 100 years.

By the way I don't listen to them, I just googled the first line of your quote and I found the answer. Googling's allowed right?

All right, who said this...

It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble. It's what you know for sure that just ain't so.

Ok its been more than 1 day...maybe that was too hard...
The quote above was from Mark Twain...

Something more easy for now...

We once had a Teacher
The Teacher of teachers,
He changed the world for the better
And made us better creatures

Assalamualaikum, I think that is from Sami Yusuf's song "MUALLIM", If I'm not wrong.
Assalau Alaikum.

Assalamu alaikum, I guess I should have answered this a long time ago, but no on complained so.............

"I am the human heart, the captive of matter and the slain of men's edicts.
In the midst of this field of beauty on these banks of the source of life I
Am captive in this cage of laws fashioned by men for the feeling. "

This is from one of the poems by Khalil Gibran.

Assalamu alaikum.

Who said this?

They said: Each soul has its Given Date,
When it must leave its body's core,
And meet with its Eternal Fate.
Oh mark the words that I do say...

Sis umAhmad...I forgot to mention that you were right about the sami yusuf song...

The above quote are lines from Ahmed Bukhatir's song, Last Breath.

Ok, can someone else post a quote?

[shaheena]

how about this?
Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high;
Where knowledge is free;
Where the world has not been broken up
into fragments by narrow domestic walls;
Where words come out from the depth of truth;
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection;
Where the clear stream of reason
has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit;
Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever-widening thought and action---
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.
