As Long As In Love There Is

Very Often In Everyday Life One Sees That By Losing One's Temper With Someone Who Has Already Lost His, One Does Not Gain Anything But Only Sets Out Upon The Path Of Stupidity. He Who Has Enough Self-control To Stand Firm At The Moment When The Other Person Is In A Temper, Wins In The End. It Is Not He Who Has Spoken A Hundred Words Aloud Who Has Won; It Is He Who Has Perhaps Spoken Only One Word.

The Only Way To Live In The Midst Of Inharmonious Influences Is To Strengthen The Will Power And Endure All Things, Yet Keeping Fineness Of Character And Nobility Of Manner Together With An Everlasting Heart Full Of Love.

Everyone Has His Own Imagination Of God. It Is Best If Everyone Is Left To His Own Imagination.

A Person However Learned And Qualified In His Life's Work In Whom Gratitude Is Absent, Is Devoid Of That Beauty Of Character Which Makes Personality Fragrant.

His Constant Fight Is With The Nafs (self-interest), The Root Of All Disharmony And The Only Enemy Of Man. By Crushing This Enemy Man Gains Mastery Over Himself; This Wins For Him Mastery Over The Whole Universe, Because The Wall Standing Between The Self And The Almighty Has Been Broken Down. Gentleness, Mildness, Respect, Humility, Modesty, Self-denial, Conscientiousness, Tolerance And Forgiveness Are Considered By The Sufi As The Attributes Which Produce Harmony Within One's Own Soul As Well As Within That Of Another.
