My dear soul, flee from the worthless, stay close only to those with a pure heart. Like attracts like. A crow will lead you to the graveyard, a parrot to a lump of sugar.
RumiThe water in the stream may have changed many times, but the reflection of the moon and the stars remains the same.
RumiDon't run away from grief, oโ soul/ Look for the remedy inside the pain/ because the rose came from the thorn/ and the ruby came from a stone.
Rumi
