You never know what motivates you.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
After a storm comes a calm.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Well done is better than well said.
Only the educated are free.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Poetry, especially traditional Iranian poetry, is very good at looking at things from a number of different angles simultaneously.
It's very difficult to talk about religion in Iran because religion has gotten so mixed up with politics.
