The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Never complain and never explain.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
I can, therefore I am.
It's always too early to quit.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
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.
