Quotes

• چون تیشه مباش و جمله زی خود متراش
  چون رنده ز کار خویش بی بهره مباش
  تعلــیم ز اره گیر در امــر معاش
  چیزی سوی خود میکش و چیزی می پاش

translation:

• Don't be like axe and don't offend anyone
  Don't be useless like a plane
  Just be like a saw in your life
  Do something for yourself and something for others
  • Nafahat al-Uns (Breaths of Fellowship)
