“Minds should be enlightened with science, and hearts need to be illumined with religion.”
― Said Nursî, Words

“However foolish it is to kiss
the foot of a lowly man who conveys to you the precious gift of a king and not to
recognize the gift’s owner, it is a thousand times more foolish to praise and love the
apparent source of bounties and forget the True Bestower of Bounties.”
― Said Nursi, The Words

“When a learned philosopher was in the throes of death, he said: Had I known how listening is superior to speaking, I would not have wasted my life preaching. Eloquent speech is perhaps as fine as gold but unspoken words are even more precious.”
― Attar, translated by Sholeh Wolpe

“The people of this world are like the three butterflies
in front of a candle's flame.

The first one went closer and said:
I know about love.

The second one touched the flame
lightly with his wings and said:
I know how love's fire can burn.

The third one threw himself into the heart of the flame
and was consumed. He alone knows what true love is.”
― Attar of Nishapur
