“Kindle the candle of intellect in your heart and hasten with it to the world of brightness.”
Nasir-i Khusraw

“و تجار مصر يصدقون في كل ما يبيعونه و إذا كذب أحدهم على مشترى... فإنه يوضع على جمل, و يعطى جرساً بيده و يطوف به في المدينه و هو يدق الجرس, و ينادي قائلاً "قد كذبت و ها أنا أعاقب و كل من يقول الكذب فجزاؤه العقاب”
ناصر خسرو قبادیانی/ Naser Khosrow Ghobadiani, سفرنامه‌ی ناصر خسرو

“Всичко трудно в учението ще стане леко, щом бъдеш приятел с добра книга.”
Nasir-i Khusraw
