pieces that stood out...

Do not reveal to friends all the secrets you possess; they may one day become enemies. Do not inflict on enemies every injury in your power; they may one day become friends.

-Sadi, "Gulistan"

============================================================

Once Luqman was asked how he had attained such merit. He replied, "By adhering to virtue, by fulfilling all pledges, and by giving up futile apprehensions."

-The Prophet Muhammad (SAW), as reported by Malek bin Hawari


============================================================

The intelligent person sees with the heart
the result from the beginning;
the one lacking in knowledge
only discovers it at the end.

-Mathnawi [V, 2570]


============================================================

-strive to be that person-
