Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself
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
You can easily judge the character of a man by how he treats those who can do nothing for him
He who avoids complaint invites happiness
Virtue pardons the wicked, as the sandal-tree perfumes the axe which strikes it
The display of fame most often supresses the voice of conscience.
With the new day comes new strength and new thoughts
If one cannot enjoy reading a book over and over again, there is no use in reading it at all
