book of aphorisms by a Pakistani lawyer
Hope
- Where there is a will, some heirs have better hopes.
- Hope fears despair and despair loves hope.
- If you do not endeavour, you will not find what lies beyond the effort, hope or despair.
- Falsehood is readily believed, because it deceives with hope.
- Accept failure without despair to strive for success again.
- Those who hope desperately will know the bitter taste of despair, in the event of failure. Hope cautiously, so that you may not despair stupidly.

About Rasheed Akhund
In every family, if one is lucky, there appears a figure so marvellously singular, so steeped in wisdom and warmth that he becomes a sort of personal North Star. Rasheed Ahmed Akhund was such a man; measured, principled and enigmatic. A man who, like the best of us, lived not for show but for substance. He belonged to a dwindling class of men who thought deeply, spoke sparingly and forgave quietly.

“lf you attempt to prove existence of God with cold logic, you will land him in contradictions. If you feel him warmly, he is universal love and sense of perfection.”
