Who seeks shall find.
If you think you can do it, you can.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
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.
