Quotes -- Wasif Ali Wasif

"He, who is trying to reform himself with an eye to public praise and esteem, will not be reformed. He who wants to get his virtues cashed in the world cannot be good. That “saint” who wants to over-awe the world because of his prayers is, in fact, a hypocrite."

Our identity is our own face, and our Hereafter is in terms of our own faith. Likewise, our pleasures lie in our own circumstances and surroundings. The peacock’s destiny is the peacocks and the crow’s the crow."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Better alone than to have relations which change with times and circumstances."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Love is a desire to have the nearness of Beauty and Beauty is the lover's way of looking at the beloved."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Remove the conflict between your desires and your duties. Peace will come."
