You talk when you cease to be at peace with your thoughts; And when you can no longer dwell in the solitude of your heart you live in your lips, and sound is a diversion and a pastime. And in much of your talking, thinking is half murdered.

The longing for paradise is paradise itself.

If you reveal your secrets to the wind, you should not blame the wind for revealing them to the trees.

Coming generations will learn equality from poverty, and love from woes.

Your house shall be not an anchor but a mast It shall not be a glistening film that covers a wound, but an eyelid that guards the eye.

Half of what I say is meaningless; but I say it so that the other half may reach you.
