of injustice... fearing no matter, however great... And see her, when the women of the Arabs were taken captive in one of the battles of Syria and she was among them, gathering the women and standing up among them to speak, kindling ardor and zeal in their breasts as she says: “O daughters of the Arabs, are you content that your children should be slaves to the people of the Byzantines? Where, then, is your courage and your prowess, of which the tribes of the Arabs and the assemblies of
the settled folk tell? As for us — we would never have been captured had the enemy not fallen upon us unawares and driven us like sheep, unarmed. Take up, then, the tent poles and the pegs of the tent ropes, and let us charge with them upon these wretches...”
And Khawla threw a pole across her shoulder, saying: “Hold fast in a single ring, and let none of you abandon another; shatter the men's lances and break their swords.” And Khawla attacked, and the women attacked behind
her, and they fought fiercely until the women were delivered out of the hands of the Byzantines!
This is a magnificent picture of an Arab woman, colored by heroism, poetry, and proud spirit. And in old Arab history there are many like her, in whom that history glories.
Woman has always and ever been a great workshop of heroes; and it is my belief that if we today have need of any great thing to drive our life toward heroism and sacrifice, then before all else we need this workshop that makes men great.

Do you know why life swims in obscurities? The world turns the wrong way round; it grieves more than it laughs, and weeps more than it smiles...
Life is made wretched every day and every night... made wretched by diseases and plagues, by wars, by foolish mentalities, and by promises with their counterfeit lightning...
A tender smile is like a dreaming boat gliding toward the shore of love. “Byron”
A single smile on my beloved's lips opens to me the gates of paradise. “Goethe”
