Hamza Yusuf

I needed more stuff that glowed so when the lights went out, you could actually see me the whole time. So I slowly built it from there. I wanted everything to glow. I want my hair to glow, I want my nails to glow, I want my eyes to glow, I want my lips to glow, you know?

Ibn Ata Allah

Before the eyes can see, they must be incapable of tears. Before the ear can hear, it must have lost its sensitiveness. Before the voice can speak in the presence of the Masters, it must have lost the power to wound. Before the soul can stand in the presence of the Masters, its feet must be washed in the blood of the heart.

Mabel Collins

It is not, nor it cannot, come to good, But break, my heart, for I must hold my tongue.

William Shakespeare

I just love to glow, glow glow, so with my skincare and makeup routine, I gravitate to products that help me achieve that sun-kissed, dewy look.

Janet Mock

He hath a heart as sound as a bell, and his tongue is the clapper; for what his heart thinks his tongue speaks.

William Shakespeare

One must turn the tongue seven times in the mouth before speaking.

Spurious fame spreads from tongue to tongue like the fog of the early dawn before the sun rises.

Rabindranath Tagore

We must be united, we must be undaunted, we must be inflexible. Our qualities and deeds must burn and glow through the gloom oEurope until they become the veritable beacon oits salvation.

(on forgiveness) Didn't he and I stand together before an all seeing God convicted of the same murder? For I had murdered him with my heart and my tongue.
