"Независимо от кръстоносните походи и различните войни, сблъсъците между пирати, грабежи и продажби на роби; независимо от събитията при Лепанто и обсадата на Виена, истината е, че с исляма ние винаги сме търгували добре и сме имали, общо взето, добри отношения. С времето - и в зависимост от развоя на събитията - в отношенията помежду ни се е насложило някакво недоразумение. Това е тезата на Франко Кардини."

"Управлението започва в ума. Когато умът владее самия себе си, той може да управлява всичко. Човешкият живот е комбинация от реално и абстрактно. Нашето тяло е реално, а умът ни - абстрактен. И положителните, и отрицателните мисли произхождат от един и същ мозък. Ние знаем много малко за себе си. Осъзнаването на собствения ни ум, ни помага за по-доброто разбиране на живота. Човешкият живот е структуриран точно като атом. В центъра на атома е протонът, а около него има поле от отрицателно заредени частици. По същият начин, ние имаме добродетели в ядрото на нашето същество. Ако не сме осъзнали тези добродетели, ... |
