Hafiz
‎"One regret dear world, that I am determined not to have when I am lying on my deathbed is that I did not kiss you enough."

"A poet is someone who can pour light into a spoon, then raise it to nourish your beautiful parched, holy mouth."

‎"Never refuse any advance of friendship, for if nine out of ten bring you nothing, one alone may repay you."

"If someone sits with me
and we talk about the Beloved,
If I cannot give his heart comfort,
If I cannot make him feel better
About himself and this world,
Then, Hafiz, Quickly run to the mosque and pray --
For you have just committed the only sin I know."

"I have a thousand brilliant lies
For the question:
How are you?
I have a thousand brilliant lies
For the question:
What is God?
If you think that Truth can be known
From words,
If you think that the Sun and the Ocean
Can pass through the tiny opening
Called the mouth,
O someone should start laughing?
Someone should start wildly laughing --
Now!"
