The art of knowing is knowing what to ignore
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
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
Wherever you are, and whatever you do, be in love
If you don’t know a thing never hesitate or feel ashamed to learn it.
Everything in the universe is within you. Ask all from yourself
Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much
Where the willingness is great, the difficulties cannot be great
It is a profitable thing, if one is wise, to seem foolish
Train people well enough so they can leave, treat them well enough so they don't want to
