Only the educated are free.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Well done is better than well said.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
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.
