If you are irritated by every rub, how will your mirror be polished?
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
Either give me more wine or leave me alone
Never, never, never give up
Avoid evil deeds as a man who loves life avoids poison
I have talked with great men, and I do not see how they differ from others
To earn a suspicious living is worse than begging
Cowards die many times before their deaths; the valiant never taste of death but once
Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else's life
