Every flower blooms at a different pace. - Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem

"Have faith that your child's brain is an evolving planet that rotates at its own speed. It will naturally be attracted to or repel certain subjects. Be patient. Just as there are ugly ducklings that turn into beautiful swans, there are rebellious kids and slow learners that turn into serious innovators and hardcore intellectuals."

"Truth does not sit in a cave and hide like a lie. It wanders around proudly and roars loudly like a lion."

"Always listen to the voice of your conscience. If your conscience conflicts with your faith, question everything."

"It is only normal that people count losses with their minds, and ignore to count blessings with the graciousness of their hearts."

"Stand up for your conscience. Use light to reveal what is concealed in the darkness. Use truth to fight the lies, and the heart to fight the mind."
