This poetry. I never know what I'm going to say. I don't plan it. When I'm outside the saying of it, I get very quiet and rarely speak at all.
Why am I seeking? I am the same as he. His essence speaks through me. I have been looking for myself
Speak any language, Turkish, Greek, Persian, Arabic, but always speak with love
Let soul speak with the silent articulation of a face.
When you see anyone complaining of such and such a person's ill-nature and bad temper, know that the complainant is bad-tempered, forasmuch as he speaks ill of that bad-tempered person, because he alone is good-tempered who is quietly forbearing towards the bad-tempered and ill-natured.
Not the ones speaking the same language, but the ones sharing the same feeling understand each other.
Let Silence speak to you about the secrets of the universe.
Learn to speak by listening.
Don't try to steer the boat. Don't open shop for yourself. Listen. Keep silent. You are not God's mouthpiece. Try to be an ear, And if you do speak, ask for explanations.
I grow silent. Dear soul, you speak.
Open the window of your heart and let the Spirit speak
My soul is my guide, for my soul is of that abode. I will not speak of the earthly. I am of the unknown
Speak with the language of love.
Look at your heart and tongue, one feels but deaf and dumb, the other speaks in words and signs.
