Patience is not sitting and waiting, it is foreseeing. It is looking at the thorn and seeing rose, looking at the night and seeing the day. Lovers are patient and know that the moon needs time to become full.

More quotes by Shams Tabrizi
If you expect respect from others, show it first to yourself. You can't expect from others what you don't give to yourself.
Shams Tabrizi
If you are insulted, if you are accused, if they gossip about you, don't say anything bad. Don't be the one who sees the shame, be the one who corrects it.
Shams Tabrizi
The words we use for the Creator are a reflect of ourselves. If we think of God as fear and shame, we are scared and have something to be ashamed of ... But if we see love, compassion and kindness, it is because we possess these qualities.
Shams Tabrizi
The salat can be made up for, but there is no making up for false show or outward worship without presence.
Shams Tabrizi
Do not worry about tricks and cheaters. If some people are trying to trap and hurt you, Allah is also trapping them. Hole diggers will always fall in their holes. No bad remains unpunished, and no good remains without being awarded, so have faith in justice and let the rest be.
Shams Tabrizi
A good man complains of no one he does not look to faults.
Shams Tabrizi
Whoever lives as he sees fit will not die as he sees fit.
Shams Tabrizi
The universe is a complete unique entity. Everything and everyone is bound together with some invisible strings. Do not break anyone’s heart do not look down on weaker than you. One’s sorrow at the other side of the world can make the entire world suffer one’s happiness can make the entire world smile.
Shams Tabrizi
It is pointless trying to know where the way leads. Think only about your first step, the rest will come.
Shams Tabrizi
When you oppose the shaykh, it's like the slave who kills himself over a quarrel with his master. 'Hey, why are you killing yourself over a quarrel?' He says, 'So my master will suffer loss.'
Shams Tabrizi
Be sure that someday you'll praise and thank God for your unanswered prayers that once you had wept for them.
Shams Tabrizi
This world is like a mountain. Your echo depends on you. If you scream good things, the world will give it back. If you scream bad things, the world will give it back. Even if someone says badly about you, speak well about him. Change your heart to change the world.
Shams Tabrizi
For anew Self to be born, hardship is necessary. Just as clay needs to go through intense heat to become strong, Love can only be perfected in pain.
Shams Tabrizi
You learn by reading but understand by LOVE.
Shams Tabrizi
To get closer to Truth and Right, we need a beautiful and soft heart.
Shams Tabrizi
Love is a travel. All travelers whether they want or not are changed. No one can travel into love and remain the same.
Shams Tabrizi
Most of conflicts and tensions are due to language. Don't pay so much attention to the words. In love’s country, language doesn't have its place. Love's mute.
Shams Tabrizi
Nothing kills the soul that commands to evil (Nafs al Ammarra) like seeing the beauty of the heart.
Shams Tabrizi
While the parts change, the whole always remains the same. For every thief who departs this world, a new one is born. And every decent person who passes away is replaced by a new one. In this way not only does nothing remain the same but also nothing ever really changes.
Shams Tabrizi
The path to the Truth is a labour of the heart, not of the head. Make your heart your primary guide! Not your mind. Meet, challenge and ultimately prevail over your nafs with your heart. Knowing your ego will lead you to the knowledge of God.
