Hasbunallahu wani'mal wakiil
If you can keep your head
when all about you are losing their mind and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself
when all men doubt you, but make allowance for their doubting too.
If you can wait
And not be tired by waiting or being laid about
don’t deal in lies or being hated, don’t give way to hating and yet don’t look too good nor talk too wise..
If you can dream and not to make dream your master.
If you can think and not to make thought your aim.
If you can meet with triumph and disaster
and treat two imposter just the same
If you can bear to hear the truth you have spoken
twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools
or watch the things you gave your life to broken
and stoop and build them, then up with worn-out tools.
If you can make one heap of all you’re your winnings
and risk it in one turn of pitch and toss
and loss and start again at your beginning
and never breath a word about your loss…
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
to serve your turn long after they are gone
and so hold on when there is nothing in you
except the will that says to them hold on..
If you can walk with crowds and keep your virtue
or walk with king nor lose the common touch
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you
If all men count with you but none too much..
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
with sixty seconds worth of distant run
your is the earth and everything that’s in it
And which is more, you’ll be a man, my son..
Cukuplah Allah menjadi penolong kami, dan Allah adalah sebaik-baik pelindung...

Republik Ludruk
"Seorang politikus memikirkan pemilihan umum yang akan datang,
tetapi seorang negarawan memikirkan generasi yang akan datang..."
Dalam kehidupan politik, pola demokrasi ada juga yang seperti ludruk atau lenong betawi, setiap orang berhak untuk menyatakan pendapat, dan setiap orang yang lainnya juga berhak untuk tidak mendengarkan. Dan untuk urusan berkata-kata, urusan menyatakan pendapat Al Qur'an mengajari kita misalnya dalam "..dan apabila kamu (semua) berkata hendaklah benar biarpun mengenai kerabat kamu sendiri (golonganmu). Dan penuhilah janji Allah. Demikian yang telah diperintahkan-Nya kepada-Mu (Muhammad) agar kamu mendapat peringatan" (Q.S. 6:152)
Kita punya maksud, kita memiliki rencana, begitu pula dengan orang lain. Kita kadang saling menuduh, walau yang kita tuduhkan kerap kali kita laksanakan, atau setidaknya ada keinginan untuk kita kerjakan. Kita seperti mau saling beradu, walau kenyataannya akhirnya kita harus berkompromi, saling berangkulan...
wallahu'alam bishawaab..
