Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Never complain and never explain.
Who seeks shall find.
Only the educated are free.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Know or listen to those who know.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
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.
