Throughout his life, Edhi sahab set examples for the world to follow through his actions. In fact, more work and less talk remained his principle till the very end.
Although there's no dearth of great quotes by perhaps the greatest Pakistani who ever lived, we share with you ten which we believe will leave you inspired for the rest of your lives.
1. "My religion is humanitarianism, which is the basis of every religion in the world."

4. "So, many years later there were many who still complained and questioned, 'Why must you pick up Christians and Hindus in your ambulance?' And I was saying, 'Because the ambulance is more Muslim than you'."

PHOTO: AFP6. “Chasing after desires creates inner turmoil. When the devil becomes guide, dacoits and gangsters are manufactured. He makes men fight against their souls to survive expensive items and most lose everything in the face of his strength. The internal enemy can only be overcome by a personal revolution.”

7. "The dead has only one place to go... up. Wherever you bury them, they will go the same way, up."
PHOTO: AFP8. "The Holy Book should open in your souls, not on your laps. Open your heart and see God's people. In their plight you will find Him."
