Yang Quote by Mohammad Kasim
““..Pakaian kita patutlah sepadan dengan pencaharian kita. Kalau kita telah bersepatu, hendaknya di rumah pun duduk di atas kursi atau di atas tikar permadani, tidur di atas katil, makan cukup, gulai jangan sambal terasi berganti dengan sambal belacan sahaja. Aku ini, itulah sebabnya maka tak sepakat dengan kelakuan kebanyakan orang zaman sekarang. Dasi berjela-jela setengah meter, uang pun kuntal kantil di dada, tetapi kantung melayang ditiup angin. Sampai di rumah mulut disempal dengan daun ubi campur sambal terasi.””
