“love entered me
and became blood in my veins
emptied me of myself
and filled me with the beloved
every single particle of my body
is soaked in the beloved
my name is all that's left of me
he became the rest”
― Jalaluddin Rumi, رباعيات جلال الدين الرومي

“So foolish is the heart of man that he ever puts his hope in the future, learning nothing from his past errors and fancying that tomorrow must be better than today.”
― Mika Waltari, The Egyptian

“Do not despair
if the Beloved pushes you away.
If He pushes you away today
it's only so He can draw you back tomorrow.

If He closes the door on your face,
don't leave, wait—
you'll soon be by His side.
If He bars every passage,
don't lose hope—
He's about to show you
a secret way that nobody knows.”
― Rumi, Rumi: In the Arms of the Beloved

“Never throw away food when you have the poor near you, remember that you are an ambassador of god on earth”
― Bangambiki Habyarimana, Book of Wisdom
