Speak but little, and that little only when thy own purposes require it. Heaven has given thee two ears but only one tongue, which means: listen to two things, but be not the first to propose one.
HafezThe only friends who are free from cares are the goblet of wine and a book. Give me wine...that I may for a time forget the cares of the world.
HafezDo not surrender your grief so quickly Let it cut more deeply Let it ferment and season you As few human or divine ingredients can Something is missing in my heart tonight That has made my eyes so soft And my voice so tender And my need of God so absolutely clear.
HafezWe have come into this exquisite world to experience ever and ever more deeply our divine courage, freedom and light!
Hafez
