If you are insulted, if you are accused, if they gossip about you, don't say anything bad. Don't be the one who sees the shame, be the one who corrects it.
Shams TabriziIf you expect respect from others, show it first to yourself. You can't expect from others what you don't give to yourself.
Shams TabriziThis world is like a mountain. Your echo depends on you. If you scream good things, the world will give it back. If you scream bad things, the world will give it back. Even if someone says badly about you, speak well about him. Change your heart to change the world.
Shams TabriziThe universe is a complete unique entity. Everything and everyone is bound together with some invisible strings. Do not break anyoneโs heart; do not look down on weaker than you. Oneโs sorrow at the other side of the world can make the entire world suffer; oneโs happiness can make the entire world smile.
