The best advice I’ve ever heard about anything is this: Don’t exaggerate! When you work hard, when you sleep long, when you love much, when you are very sad, always remember this advice: Don’t exaggerate!

Don’t look for an unshakable rock to stand on; there ain’t any! Rather, learn how to stand still on a shaking rock!

Put a very clever man next to a genius, his brightness will immediately turn to dullness!

When somebody criticise you, be happy and thankful because they have given you an opportunity to think about the matter more precisely and more detailed!

A leader without a vision is just a letter without a stamp; it can never reach his destination.

Make walks in the nights to benefit from the education of silence!

Optimists are childish; they even believe they can find an ice cream store in the hell!

Why pay money for the horror movies? Just go to a street without trees!

Some people are so weak that whenever they see a hammer, they immediately turn into a nail!

In autumn, don’t go to jewellers to see gold; go to the parks!

For a great master, everyone is a master, because he learns from everyone! For a great master, everything is a master, because he learns from everything!

Under a cherry tree, all burdens of life fly away!

God may be the captain pilot of the universe, but it appears that the Devil is his co-pilot!

I think I really produce my best work in Iran.

The best way to keep something bad from happening is to see it ahead of time, and you can’t see it if you refuse to face the possibility.

My car’s my best friend. My office. My home. My location. I have a very intimate sense when I am in a car with someone next to me. We’re in the most comfortable seats because we’re not facing each other, but sitting side by side.

I’d like to think that throughout my career whatever my current record is has 110% of my best.

I’ve always seemed to have my best performances when I’m under the most pressure.

Recessions are great because they unlock the best people.

I think the best thing I can hope to achieve is to educate, or make aware, as many people as possible on how the little things they do every day really do affect our environment.
