Benjamin Franklin
“Contentment makes poor men rich,
Discontent makes rich men poor.”
Benjamin Franklin

Mahmud Shabistari
“Thinking

Thinking is passing from the false to the true
and seeing the Absolute Whole in the part.
When the idea enters the mind,
it is a reminiscence of a former state,
and passes on to interpretation.

. . . He who sees by illumination
discerns God first in everything.
But he who sees by logic only,
and seeks to prove the necessary,
is bewildered and sometimes travels
backward in a circle, or is imprisoned
in a chain of proofs.
Fool! He seeks the dazzling sun
by the dim light of a candle in the desert.”
Sa'd Ud Din Mahmud Shabistari

Marina Tsvetaeva
“However much you feed a wolf, it always looks to the forest. We are all wolves of the dense forest of Eternity.”
Marina Tsvetaeva

Albert Camus
“For if there is a sin against life, it consists perhaps not so much in despairing of life as in hoping for another life and in eluding the implacable grandeur of this life.”
Albert Camus, Summer in Algiers

Edwin Muir
“ Light and praise,
Love and atonement, harmony and peace.
Touch me, assail me, break and make my heart.”
Edwin Muir
