Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem

"THE THREE BEES by Suzy Kassem A young boy once asked A wealthy beekeeper:“What is the secret of Your success?”The beekeeper simply smiled And replied:“To be successful,One has to be one of three bees:The queen bee,The hardest working bee,Or the bee that does not fit in. One success is inherited,And the next one is earned. While the last one is Self-sought,Self-served,And happens on its own Terms.”“And which bee are you?”Asked the boy. The beekeeper then wiped The sweat from his head And said:“The last may seem the riskiest,But the glory of achievement Is the most rewarding. Freedom always comes at a high cost,But only when you are Your own boss,Can you truly Afford it.” (Suzy Kassem Poetry)"

"This is God's universe and he is the master gardener of all. If we were to eliminate all colors in his garden, then what would be a rainbow with only one color? Or a garden with only one kind of flower? Why would the Creator create a vast assortment of plants, ethnicities, and animals, if only one beast or seed is to dominate all of existence?"

"Learn to love people unconditionally. The light of love sees no walls."

"When caught under the weather of love, always choose the person who loves you unconditionally, and abandon the one who only loves you under favorable conditions."

"Write and people will come to read. Write and people will heed to your words and share them with others. Not all may relate, but wait, and those who were meant to see it eventually will find it, for truth waits to be found. It searches for no one."

"Trying to erase, hide, discredit, degrade, and suppress a writer's work, merit, voice, and influence―is unconstitutional. Censorship only exists to protect corruption."

"Birds are the eyes of heaven, and flies are the spies of hell."

"Birds are the eyes of Heaven."

"Even heaven would become hell if you were alone in it, or away from a loved one. And even if you were with your loved one, but in hell, eventually you would cry to have you and your loved one together in heaven. So to create your own heaven on earth, make sure you and your loved one are in a place you both love, because what could be heaven for one, could be hell for the other."

"One who gossips usually carries boredom in one hand and bitterness in the other."

"Beware of those who speak negatively about everything and everybody. A negative person will never say a positive thing about you."

"Always be respectful and open-minded when listening to another man's beliefs. What you reject today could be your mantra tomorrow. Man's evolution is all about transformations. An unexpected experience you have one day can change you forever."

"A woman who holds her head up too high, is trying to breathe from her own pollution."

"Any system that values profit over human life is a very dangerous one indeed. Simply put, it lacks values, and such a system will eventually collapse once its true light is discovered by the masses. Though some say that capitalism is a modern system, corruption has been the source for the demise of every great civilization."

"Before asserting a prognosis on any patient, always be objective and never subjective. For telling a man that he will win the treasure of life, but then later discovering that he will lose, will harm him more than by telling him that he may lose, but then he wins."

"Capitalism is a social system owned by the capitalistic class, a small network of very wealthy and powerful businessmen, who compromise the health and security of the general population for corporate gain."

"I would rather die fighting for what is right, than live passively amidst all that is wrong."

"Stand up for Truth even it means standing alone."

"Stand up for what is fair against the unfair."

"You are not for the left or right team, but for what is right against the wrong."
