Hilm

I apply not my sword where my lash suffices, nor my lash where my tongue is enough. And even if there be one hair binding me to my fellow man, I do not let it break; when they pull, I loosen, and if they loosen, I pull.

– Mu’awiya, founder of Umayyad Dynasty in Amman 7th centur

Part of the Wide World collection
