"Students of cunning have consumed their hearts..." - Quote by Rumi

“What hurts you, blesses you. Darkness is your candle.”

“May this marriage be full of laughter, our every day in paradise.”

“If you wish mercy, show mercy to the weak.”

“Justice extorts no reward, no kind of price; she is sought, therefore, for her own sake.”

“But tell me: how did gold get to be the highest value? Because it is uncommon and useless and gleaming and gentle in its brilliance; it always gives itself. Only as an image of the highest virtue did gold get to be the highest value. The giver's glance gleams like gold. A golden brilliance concludes peace between the moon and the sun. Uncommon is the highest virtue and useless, it is gleaming and gentle in its brilliance: a gift-giving virtue is the highest virtue.”

“As you cannot do what you want, Want what you can do”

“Do you want to be wise? Choose wise friends”

“Every generation, no matter how paltry its character, thinks itself much wiser than the one immediately preceding it, let alone those that are more remote.”
