Philosophy Quote by Naguib Mahfouz — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“You can tell whether a man is clever by his answers. You can tell whether a man is wise by his questions.”

“Death is more merciful than hope itself! There is nothing surprising in this, for death is divinely appointed, while hope is the creation of human folly. Both end in frustration. Am I destined to lead a life of endless frustration?”

“You can tell whether a man is clever by his answers. You can tell whether a man is wise by his questions.”

“لا تبن آمالك في الحياة على موت إنسان”

“There is a perennial classical question that asks which part of the motorcycle, which grain of sand in which pile, is the Buddha. Obviously to ask that question is to look in the wrong direction, for the Buddha is everywhere. But just as obviously to ask the question is to look in the right direction, for the Buddha is everwhere.”

“The most important thing about a technology is how it changes people.”

“Look back over the past, with its changing empires that rose and fell, and you can foresee the future too.”

“Death as the destruction of all things no longer had meaning when life was revealed to be a fatuous sequence of empty words, the hollow jingle of a jester’s cap and bells.”

“Any person who, with all the sincerity of heart, is in search for God, on land or in the sea, is worthy of respect.”

“the body is wiser than its inhabitants. the body is the soul. the body is god’s messenger.”
