"Don’t do daily prayers like a bird pecking, moving its head
Up and down. Prayer is an egg.
Hatch out the total helpless inside."

"However in every nation there are ,and must always be,a certain number of these Fiend’s servants,who have it principally for the object of their life to make money. They are always,as I said, more or less stupid,and cannot conceive anything else so nice as money. Stupidity is always the basis of Judas bargain. We do great injustice to Iscariot*, in thinking him above all common wickedness."

* Iscariot here refers to Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve disciple of Jesus, who betrayed the latter for 30 pieces of silver

John Ruskin

"quThere are some sordid minds ,formed of slime and filth, to whom interest and gain are what glory and virtue are to superior souls; they feel no other pleasure but to acquire money and never to lose it;they are covetous and are always wanting their ten percent;…and are absorbed and immersed in contracts , deeds and parchments."

"There is a report that Piso is dead; it is a great loss; he was an honest man who deserved to live longer; he was intelligent, and agreeable,resolute and courageous; to be depended upon, generous and faithful….

"

We imagine that it would be impossible to prevent our feeling some pleasure if we were present at the death of a wicked man, for then we could reap the harvest of our hatred and get from him all that we could ever hope to get from him; namely,the delight his death causes us. But at last this man really dies at a time when our interest will not allow us to rejoice; he dies either too soon or too late for us.

Anonymous asked: While the photos of "Fathima Kulsum Zohar Godabari" are quite pretty, she is not the "queen of Saudi Arabia". I'm not sure where you got that information from, but it's completely made up.

Thanks for correcting me, I had admitted in the post that I wasn’t sure. Even now this is what Google Search returns

Fathima Kulsum Zohar Godabari

I even came across a Bahrain-based blog confirming it

However, I have found additional sites too which use this photo-set for drawing traffic and earn revenue. My hunch is this person is from Pakistan. 

So what is the name of the Queen of Saudi Arabia ?
