From Yunus Emre's Divan XXIX

Not talking at all is the best way to talk,
Talking is the dirt of souls.

The one who does not consider all people the same
Might be a saint in law but is a rebel in reality.

We are students and we constantly study the course of love;
God assigns the course and love itself is the teacher.

O beloved! Let me tell you something about reality of the things,
The infidel in reality is the saint of law.

(tr. Zekeriya Baskal)
