More quotes by Hafez
What do sad people have in common? It seems they have all built a shrine to the past and often go there and do a strange wail and worship. What is the beginning of Happiness? It is to stop being so religious like that.
Hafez
How seamless seemed love and then came trouble!
Hafez
You yourself are your own obstacle, rise above yourself.
Hafez
Do not surrender your grief so quickly Let it cut more deeply Let it ferment and season you As few human or divine ingredients can Something is missing in my heart tonight That has made my eyes so soft And my voice so tender And my need of God so absolutely clear.
Hafez
The small man builds cages for everyone he knows While the sage, who has to duck his head when the moon is low, Keeps dropping keys all night long For the beautiful rowdy prisoners.
Hafez
When you can make others laugh with jokes that belittle no one and your words always unite, Hafiz will vote for you to be God.
Hafez
The world is a bride of surpassing beauty-but remember that this maiden is never bound to anyone.
Hafez
I am a hole in a flute that the Christ's breath moves through. Listen to this music.
Hafez
Pulling out the chair beneath your mind And watching you fall upon God What else is there for Hafiz to do that is any fun in this world!
Hafez
Speak but little, and that little only when thy own purposes require it. Heaven has given thee two ears but only one tongue, which means: listen to two things, but be not the first to propose one.
Hafez
Remember for just one minute of the day, it would be best to try looking upon yourself more as God does, for She knows your true royal nature.
Hafez
Woe to the dupe that yields to Fate!
Hafez
People say that the soul, on hearing the song of creation, entered the body, but in reality the soul itself was the song.
Hafez
Your love Should never be offered to the mouth of a Stranger, Only to someone Who has the valor and daring To cut pieces of their soul off with a knife Then weave them into a blanket To protect you.
Hafez
The great religions are the ships, Poets the life boats. Every sane person I know has jumped overboard.
Hafez
All your wounds from craving love Exist because of heroic deeds.
Hafez
A poet is someone Who can pour Light into a spoon, Then raise it To nourish Your beautiful parched, holy mouth.
Hafez
Carry your heart through this world like a life-giving sun
Hafez
Start seeing everything as God, But keep it a secret
Hafez
I do not feel like writing verses but as I light my perfume burner with myrrh and jasmine incense, they suddenly burgeon from my heart, like flowers in a garden.
Hafez
