With life as short as half taken breath, don’t plant anything but love
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
Take care of your cents: Dollars will take care of themselves
The sun of those who were before us (before Islam) have set. Our sun will remain forever in the highest places of the sky, and it will never set.
The only real failure in life is not to be true to the best one knows
A centre of excellence is, by definition, a place where second class people may perform first class work
Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will
One can never consent to creep when one feels an impulse to soar
