Active Quotes

“Our critics make us strong!
Our fears make us bold!
Our haters make us wise!
Our foes make us active!
Our obstacles make us passionate!
Our losses make us wealthy!
Our disappointments make us appointed!
Our unseen treasures give us a
known peace!

Whatever is designed against us will work for us!”
― Israelmore Ayivor, The Great Hand Book of Quotes

“It is when things are at their worst that Allah will raise the best generation. The generation that the Prophet would be told Sahabat should look up to. So maybe the fact that you are living in the darkest of time means that Allah thinks you can be the strongest source of light.

Allah thinks you -- you -- were born for this time. That's Allah's decision. Which means you have something significant to offer the world. You have some serious trees to plant. And you have to not get overwhelmed with the news around you. Even if dajjal is tapping you on the shoulders. Say (to Dajjal), "Hold on, I'm planting a tree".

You do what you gotta do. You gotta focus.”
― Nouman Ali Khan

“The real dawah to Islam is the character of a Muslim.”
― Nouman Ali Khan

“Why Is It So Hard to Lose Weight?
Body fat is hard to lose because the body automatically burns the easiest energy source first—blood glucose; when blood glucose gets too low, the body then uses the next easiest source of energy—glycogen in the liver—which converts back to glucose and goes into the bloodstream. Then and only then, after the liver is depleted of glycogen, does the body begin to use body fat. That is why body fat is so hard to get rid of. It’s the last source of energy used and is also a very stable molecule that is hard to break down.
 
You can gain weight easily simply by putting more glucose in your bloodstream than you need for your current activity or inactivity. But it’s harder to lose weight because body fat is the last source of energy your body uses. This is the very reason that you can gain weight quickly, but losing weight takes longer. ”

“How We Gain and Lose Weight
To understand how we gain and lose weight, we need to start with insulin. Medical researchers and internal medicine doctors almost universally agree that the amount of insulin a person produces determines weight gain and weight loss. For example, Gary Taubes, a medical researcher and recipient of multiple awards from the National Association of Science Writers, refers to insulin as “the stop-and-go light of weight gain and loss.” 
 
Produce more insulin—you will gain weight. Produce less insulin— you will lose weight.”

“Philosophy is not a spectator sport.”
― Nigel Warburton, Philosophy: The Essential Study Guide

“She looks at her palm. It feels warmer. It feels as if it has touched something evil. And now the evil is calling. Now, evil feels attractive. Slowly, and ever so slowly, she brings her palm closer to her nose and takes a long, deep breath. Purpose … Remember your purpose—the whisper bells like the songs Meera sings every morning.”
― Misba, The Oldest Dance

“For all that was happening to him, his voice was strong and inviting, and his mind was vibrating with a million thoughts. He was intent on proving that the word 'dying' was not synonymous with 'useless'.”
― Mitch Albom, Tuesdays with Morrie

“The happiness which they (the philosophers) meant was not a life of rapture; but moments of such, in an existence made up of few and transitory pains, many and various pleasures, with a decided predominance of the active over the passive, and having as the foundation of the whole, not to expect more from life than it is capable of bestowing. A life thus composed, to those who have been fortunate enough to obtain it, has always appeared worthy of the name of happiness.”
― John Stuart Mill, Utilitarianism

“Filling a mind with facts is not like filling a vessel with water. For anyone with a worldview—that is, anyone with a pulse—assimilation is an active process.”
― Ben Orlin, Math Games with Bad Drawings: 75 1/4 Simple, Challenging, Go-Anywhere Games―And Why They Matter

“There’s no point in waiting for Godot. He never arrives. That’s the whole point. In Dante’s Limbo, the Ignavi are always waiting. Their crime in life was that they preferred to wait until everything was decided rather than commit themselves to a cause when its prospects were uncertain, and now they are condemned to wait forever in the vestibule of hell. Anyone can jump on a bandwagon. The heroes are those who got involved long before the bandwagon arrived. You have to find a cause and commit yourself fully. That’s the first step in giving meaning to your life”
― Adam Weishaupt, Inside-Dopesters and Conspiracy Theories

“Growth is an active process that is intentional, demands energy and determination; while death is passive and effortless demands nothing from us. However, they are both natural phenomena that we have to choose as they war against each other in our lives.”
― Dr. Lucas D. Shallua

“Finding people who can make a difference in the world is like panning for gold. A huge amount of detritus has to be sifted before the nuggets are found. Most of the gold comes in small grains, but now and again a great, gleaming 24 carat nugget appears – a world-historic figure who will change everything. What’s it all about? INTELLIGENCE. DISCIPLINE. AMBITION. CAPABILITY. TALENT. DETERMINATION. Those are the qualities needed. It’s not about what the world can do for you. It’s about what you can do for the world. So, what can you do? Anything? Those who can, do. Those that can’t go on forums and discuss conspiracy theories.”
― Adam Weishaupt, The Disproof of Christianity

“Destiny has called you to be a god. Are you hero enough for the task? Will you switch on your inner “hero program”, or slink off to the shopping mall or the sports stadium and put it off for yet another day? Maybe you’ll take in a movie. So much easier to watch others doing the heavy lifting, and the actors are just faking it anyway. Where are the real heroes? Where are YOU?!”
― Michael Faust, How to Become a Hero

“Ultimately, the only people who make a difference are specific individuals – the ones capable of getting off their ass and doing something incredibly creative. Those are the only people to whom we have anything to say. What do the rest matter? They are irrelevant.”
― Mike Hockney, The Omega Point

“Well, then, are you passive or active? What are you doing about this life of your and this world? What’s your cause? Is it profane or sacred? Are you for yourself or for a great new vision of what humanity could be?”
― Mike Hockney, World, Overworld, Underworld, Dreamworld

“We are life’s bystanders. We are the cheering crowds who greet the great generals enjoying their Roman Triumphs. Is that all you want your life to be? – the faceless guy in the crowd applauding the elite? Why don’t you get rid of these people and enjoy your own triumphs?”
― Joe Dixon, Character Wars: America's Failing Character

“If you can do something with your life, do it. Don’t talk about it. Why are you waiting for permission? There are far too many people who talk the talk (and believe their own Mythos), and far too few who walk the walk (and actually change the world).”
― Mike Hockney, Magic, Matter and Qualia

“No movement can succeed if it is populated by the half-hearted, the weak-willed, those who can always find other things to do with their time, whose priority is always themselves. These are the Ignavi. Go and be a liability to someone else. Hyperianism wants the finest, not the worst. If you can’t be serious about committing to something, don’t bother. Just go back to bed and let the world pass you by.”
― Joe Dixon, Take Them to the Morgue

“Better to be an active old working dog than one lying around the house waiting to die - Peter Clancy.”
― T.W. Lawless

“Move around! You are not a monument; you are an Usher.”
― Utibe Samuel Mbom, The Event Usher’s Handbook

― Silvia Vasquez-Lavado, In the Shadow of the Mountain

“Passivity is always active.”
― Tamerlan Kuzgov

“I dropped my pen for a while and tried to listen, but I found that I couldn't do it. Sitting still and absorbing information seemed like two opposing forces to me. I needed to do something active to stop my mind from focusing on my body rather than on what was being said.”
― Katherine May, Enchantment: Awakening Wonder in an Anxious Age

“An active life has a way of changing your mind and revolutionizing your perspective.”
― Carlos Wallace, Why Sell Lies When The Truth Is Free
