The best loved by God are those that are rich, yet have the humility of the poor, and those that are poor and have the magnanimity of the rich.

What shall I say, O Muslims, I know not myself, I am neither a Christian, nor a Jew, nor a Zoroastrian, nor a Muslim.

That which God said to the rose, and caused it to laugh in full-blown beauty, He said to my heart, and made it a hundred times more beautiful.

I have no companion but Love, no beginning, no end, no dawn. The Soul calls from within me: &#39;You, ignorant of the way of Love, set Me free.&#39;

Don&#39;t grieve. Anything you lose comes round in another form.

That which is false troubles the heart, but truth brings joyous tranquillity.

Whenever you argue with another wiser than yourself in order that others may admire your wisdom, they will discover your ignorance.
