Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Well done is better than well said.
After a storm comes a calm.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Know or listen to those who know.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Never complain and never explain.
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.
