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
But only he who, himself enlightened, is not afraid of shadows
Never give a sword to a man who can’t dance
Never discourage anyone...who continually makes progress, no matter how slow.
The play is the thing wherein I'll catch the conscience of the king
There has to be evil so that good can prove its purity above it
We create history by our observation, rather than history creating us
