ARABIC PRAYER

When you give me strength
Take not away my sagacity

When you give me glory
Take not away my humility

When you give me humility
Take not away my dignity

And take not away my grace
When you give me authority

Think it over !

"The truth isn't the truth until people believe you, and they can't believe you if they don't know what you're saying, and they can't know what you're saying if they don't listen to you, and they won't listen to you if you're not interesting, and you won't be interesting unless you say things imaginatively, originally, freshly."
