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
The greatest happiness is not being dominated by happiness
Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable
Where the willingness is great, the difficulties cannot be great
I never see what has been done; I only see what remains to be done
Knowledge is the life of mind
In the course of my life I have often had to eat my words, and I must confess that I have always found it a wholesome diet
