Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Always desire to learn something useful.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
It's always too early to quit.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
I can, therefore I am.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Only the educated are free.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
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.
