Either give me more wine or leave me alone
Persian poet, jurist, Islamic scholar, theologian, and Sufi mystic originally from Greater Khorasan.
I want to sing like the birds sing, not worrying about who hears or what they think
The art of knowing is knowing what to ignore
I closed my mouth and spoke to you in a hundred silent ways
The cure for pain is in the pain.
Respond to every call that excites your spirit
Wherever you are, and whatever you do, be in love
To side with the oppressor is oppression on the oppressed
Good better best Never let it rest. Til your Good is Better and your Better is Best
The greatest truth is honesty and the greatest falsehood is dishonesty
Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be
I could trust a fact and always cross-question an assertion
Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much
