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
Sexual self-restraint is only a preliminary stage in the ego's evolution
There is nothing more tragic than to find an individual bogged down in the length of life, devoid of breadth
We create history by our observation, rather than history creating us
No person learned the art of archery from me, who did not in the end make me his target
Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much
If women are expected to do the same work as men, we must teach them the same things
