I closed my mouth and spoke to you in a hundred silent ways
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
The cure for pain is in the pain.
Respond to every call that excites your spirit
Either give me more wine or leave me alone
Wherever you are, and whatever you do, be in love
Everything in the universe is within you. Ask all from yourself
I hold that while man exists, it is his duty to improve not only his own condition, but to assist in ameliorating mankind
Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe
The man of knowledge must be able not only to love his enemies but also to hate his friends
You may live to see man-made horrors beyond your comprehension
The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing
