Frank Reicher — Dr. James

Richard Carle — A.K. Arnold

The child ever dwells in the mystery of ageless time,
unobscured by the dust of history.

Fortunate is he who does not carry envy as a companion.

Ankur Vikal - Maman

Attar has roamed through the seven cities of love while we have barely turned down the first street.

An ignorant doctor is the aide-de-camp of death.

The learned are said to have seeing eyes;
The unlearned have only two sores on their faces.

Spiritual teachers

Shug Fisher — Old Man Harris

We do, however, speak a message of wisdom among the mature, but not the wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing.

Besides the noble art of getting things done, there is the noble art of leaving things undone. The wisdom of life consists in the elimination of non-essentials.

Imran Hasnee – Zafar
