Dr. Hariri’s quotes
- Marriage: Marriage is like a bird that needs two agreeable and harmonious wings (couple) to be able to soar in the sky.
- Arrogance: Those, who are selfish and arrogant, cannot respect themselves because serving yourself is different from respecting yourself. When they cannot respect themselves, how come we can expect them to respect others? That’s why they just want everything for themselves without any tinge of respect.
- Social Castes: Social castes and classes will never fade away because they are the manifestations of mental divides in the minds of different people. That is, different mental patterns give rise to different social classes.
- Black Holes: Black holes, albeit dark, dreadful and outrageous, draw the attention of even light and ingest it into their dissolvent physiques.
- Justice: If children are taught or learn how to discipline themselves and their lives, they will become more just and justice-sensitive in future, as discipline and organisation have a strong relationship with justice.
- Feminism: There is a positive correlation between high degrees of feminism and older age on the part of women. The older they get, the more likely they would grow feministic points of view.
- Clarity: Clarity of your mind can help you to become creative to a very high degree.
- Stress: Stress is an internal defense mechanism to make you ready for a challenging situation. In this case, stress is likened to pain in the sense that as pain indicates that there is something wrong in your body, stress shows that there is something wrong in your mind and your life. As you should not use a pain-killer to suffocate pain; instead, you should find out the reason of pain in your body to eradicate the causes of pain, you must also find out the reasons and causes of stress in your mind and life to try to eradicate the causes.
- Clear Conscience: You are the pilot of an airplane in which your conscience functions as the black box. If you control your plane effectively and permanently, your black box will never document any derogatory defects on itself.
- Life: Life is like a precious gift from God, and you should take maximum pleasure in it.
- Death: We may reach sometime when we appeal to God for death, that is, we will have owed to death by that time. So take maximum pleasure in your youth.
- Fascinating God: When you act righteously with a clear conscience, even God will fall in love with you.
- Creative Prosperity: You can find and create new channels of prosperity in your shining life.
- Think Big: If you think big, big things will come to you.
- Getting Better: You should instill and internalize the feeling of “getting better and even better each moment”. In so doing, your life will improve tremendously and you will be at the apex of the pyramid of your life. Therefore, when you are likely to depart this mundane world, you do NOT like to get back to this worldly life for another time since you are internally and exhaustively satisfied and gratified.
- Fear: Fear in your mind functions as pain in your body. It indicates that there is something wrong and you should do something in return. As you should trace the cause of pain in your body, you should also find the cause of fear in your mind and remove it. So you should be thankful to your fears.
- Happiness: A great man is one who is internally happy even if he has to be alone in his entire life.
- Happiness: In order to achieve genuine happiness, you should constantly be one step forward from your age.

- Perseverance: The plant in dark was trying to reach for the sunlight and it was making a demanding effort to attain this goal. Your life is almost at the same level. After reaching that point in life, you will taste something that will surely be worth of all your attempts.
- Positive Change: You should update every day of your precious life. This updating is to be an ongoing process making changes for the better in your improving life.
- Project Completion: Life is not just replete with the tasks you enjoy doing. Sometimes, you have to do things you really shrink from. But if you hang on there, you will be awarded. The unpleasant tasks are like changing the baby. But after changing her, you can enjoy holding the baby that is dry and ready to be loved by you.
- Self-care: Horror movies can impose devastating blows on your mind. Don’t be brainwashed and/or overshadowed by the aftermath of horror movies. They may give you momentary pleasure; however, in return, they put you in a state of anxiety, fear, and phobia in moments of loneliness. So control your mind and emotions and have peace of mind and equanimity. The other danger that horror movies put you in is the likelihood of being prone to schizophrenia, in the sense that you, little by little, fail to distinguish between right and wrong phenomena. Consequently, don’t let those ludicrous and spurious scenes, plots, and pictures influence your holy mind, subsequently, Holy You.
