Just as stagnant water stinks and putrefies upon losing its fluidity, the source of its life, so do those lazy people who abandon themselves to comfort and ease inevitably begin to rot and become losers. Desire for comfort is the first alarm and sign of death. However, those whose sensitivity has been paralyzed cannot hear the alarm or understand the sign, and do not heed the warnings and advice of friends. – M. Fethullah Gulen

Laziness and attachment to ease are among the major reasons for deprivation and humiliation. Inactive people who have abandoned themselves to (indolent) comfort one day will fall so low that they will expect even their basic necessities to be supplied by others. – M. Fethullah Gulen

Once the extreme addiction of staying at home is added to that of indolent comfort, the “front lines” will be abandoned and people will become cowardly. If this decline is not recognized, and the situation is not handled intelligently and properly, the result will be deviation and something horrid. – M. Fethullah Gulen

For a human being, change and decay are usually slow and silent. Sometimes even a little heedlessness, a slight straying from the “caravan,” can cause a complete collapse and a total loss. However, because those who have fallen see themselves as still on the same line and in the same situation, they do not realize that they have plunged to the bottom of a deep well from a minaret-like peak. – M. Fethullah Gulen

Some people who leave the line of exertion and struggle with a feeling of guilt, which every fugitive and truant is bound to feel, are likely to defend themselves and criticize their friends who continue to serve. It is almost impossible for such people to escape their deviation and return to their original line. Prophet Adam, upon him be peace, recovered his previous rank with a single deed, namely his confession of fault, after he had fallen into forgetfulness. By contrast, Satan, despite the gravity of his sin, tried to defend himself and fell into eternal frustration. – M. Fethullah Gulen

People who have lost their resolve, willpower, and endeavor affect the courage and devotional strength of those around them. Sometimes only a little hesitation or a bit of reluctance displayed by an irresolute individual causes a shock and loss of hope as great as the death of a hundred people. Such a disaster only encourages the enemies of the nation to attack us. – M. Fethullah Gulen

* * *

The attractiveness of children, family, and worldly property is seductive and a burdensome trial. The successful defendants at this trial are those determined, resolute, strong-willed, and fortunate people who, every morning and evening, renew from the depth of their hearts their oath of attachment to the truth to which they have devoted themselves. – M. Fethullah Gulen

* * *

Every noble cause and truth will gain constancy and a universal identity by its adherents’ determination to protect it and their devotion to it. If those who have embraced that cause and truth are not perceptive, faithful, and persevering, that which they have embraced eventually will be erased from human memory by the hostility of its determined enemies. – M. Fethullah Gulen

One should avoid going to extremes in one’s thinking and actions. Going to extremes is a lethal poison. As it is wrong to seek simplicity and sincerity in poor clothing or a life being lived in a miserable house with a few, broken old things, so too its wrong to see sophistication, civilization and prosperity in the modern style of expensive clothes and other luxuries. – M. Fethullah Gulen

* * *

One who does not increase in dedication to worship of God as he or she grows older, is really unfortunate because he or she is making a loss at a time when he or she could be making a profit. If that one understood this, he or she would weep for what he or she finds amusing today. – M. Fethullah Gulen

The stomach expels food that cannot be digested and has no benefit, and then spits in its face. Time and history does the same to useless people. – M. Fethullah Gulen
