Here are some of my favourite quotes:
Leonidas when asked by Hydarnes, commander of Xerxes royal bodyguard the Immortals to give up his weapons.
Hydarnes- “Your position is hopeless, lay down your weapons and you will be spared”
Leonidas-“you wan’t my weapons?
Come and get them!”
Sun Tzu said in his 13 chapter book, the Art of War.
"Always pray for peace, but be prepared for war.....
When the enemy advances, you must retreat.
When he retreats, you must advance,
Make your Attack your defense,
Your defense your attack......":sleep2:
Aciabades replied to the messenger who told him he had been declared a dead man by the Athenian Demos:
"I'll Show them i'm alive!":mad2:
At the battle of Badr the kuffar sent three of thier champions forward for single combat from the Muslim ranks after three Ansar had been sent back.
Rasool-Allah:saw2: said at Badr.
“Kum Ya Ali!”
“Where is Ali:razi2:! Send forth Ali:razi2:!”
The siege of Delhi in the war of Independance (1857-58) Mualana Fazle-e-Haq Hairabadi said:
"So what if we are cut down!
Let them string us up!
Let them go ahead and blast our bodies!
We will not compromise our faith with anyone!"
And on a more lighter note…
"Chaar yaar da nam kin?"
** Q** Name the four friends ? (of Rasoolallah :saw2:)
** A** "Yaar yaro noo jande, apna kaam kar!"
Friends know each other get on with your work!
Thats it for now. But more may follow soon.
