Kabir
Men have always looked before and after, and rebelled against the existing order. But for their divine discontent, men would not have been men, and there would have been no progress in human affairs.
Kabir
Do not praise yourself not slander others: There are still many days to go and any thing could happen.
Kabir
Don't open your diamonds in a vegetable market. Tie them in bundle and keep them in your heart, and go your own way.

As the river surrenders itself to the ocean, what is inside me moves inside you.

I sell mirrors in the city of the blind.
Kabir
