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
I lay it down as a fact that if all men knew what others say of them, there would not be four friends in the world
The nourishment of body is food, while the nourishment of the soul is feeding others.
Whosoever hides his secret keeps his safety, safeguarded with himself
He who is fond of delicious food, let him bear in mind that ultimately he is to be food for worms
You cannot teach a man anything, you can only help him find it within himself
Extravagance is also when a person eats whatever he wishes
