You never know what motivates you.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Only the educated are free.
Know or listen to those who know.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Poetry, especially traditional Iranian poetry, is very good at looking at things from a number of different angles simultaneously.
It's very difficult to talk about religion in Iran because religion has gotten so mixed up with politics.
