"Çırpına çırpına uçmayı öğrendin sen. Çürük dala konup ziyan etme kendini."

Bir gün İbrahim Ethem’e sorarlar: “Nasıl sabrediyorsun bu mütevazı hayata?” diye. Cevabı şöyle olur: “Her şey küçük başlar, zamanla büyür. Fakat sıkıntılar büyük başlar, zamanla küçülür.”  Selim Gündüzalp

Allah does not charge a soul except [with that within] its capacity. It will have [the consequence of] what [good] it has gained, and it will bear [the consequence of] what [evil] it has earned. “Our Lord, do not impose blame upon us if we have forgotten or erred. Our Lord, and lay not upon us a burden like that which You laid upon those before us. Our Lord, and burden us not with that which we have no ability to bear. And pardon us; and forgive us; and have mercy upon us. You are our protector, so give us victory over the disbelieving people.
