Saladin

I think that when God wants to establish a kingdom, He makes it easy for the people to accept it.

I warn you against shedding blood, for the blood that is shed never sleeps.

I have seen many kings and princes, but I have never seen one who was not afraid of death.

Do not imagine that I am one of those who are afraid of death. I have faced it many times.

Victory is in the hands of God, not in the hands of men.

The most important thing is to be just, for justice is the foundation of all good things.

I would rather have a just enemy than an unjust friend.

The best way to defeat your enemy is to make him your friend.

Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul.

The greatest jihad is to speak the truth in the face of a tyrant.

I am not afraid of death, for I know that it is the gate to eternal life.

The true leader is one who serves his people, not one who is served by them.

Do not be deceived by appearances, for many a wolf is clothed in sheep's clothing.

The best revenge is to live well.

I have never seen a man who regretted being just.

The greatest victory is to conquer oneself.

Do not be afraid to speak your mind, even if you are alone.

The world is a prison for the believer and a paradise for the disbeliever.

I would rather die with honor than live with shame.

The true strength of a nation lies in its justice, not in its armies.
