“Man wants three things; life, knowledge, and love.”

“She loved three things — a joke, aglass of wine, and a handsome man.”

“Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind.”

“In business, three things are necessary: knowledge, temper, and time.”

“It is not time that changes man nor knowledge the only thing that can change someone's mind is love.”

“the Qur’ān appears to be interested in three types knowledge for man. One is the knowledge of nature which has been made subservient to man, i.e., the physical sciences. The second crucial type is the knowledge of history (and geography): the Qur’ān persistently asks man to "travel on the earth" and see for himself what happened to bygone civilizations and why they rose and fell. The third is the knowledge of man himself.”
