Virtue pardons the wicked, as the sandal-tree perfumes the axe which strikes it
Persian poet and prose writer of the medieval period. He is recognized for the quality of his writings and for the depth of his social and moral thoughts.
Better is the sinner who hath thoughts about God, than the saint who hath only the show of sanctity
An enemy to whom you show kindness becomes your friend
O Contentment, make me rich! for without thee there is no wealth
Ants, fighting together, will vanquish the lion
The true disciple should aim to live for the gospel, rather than to die for it
No person learned the art of archery from me, who did not in the end make me his target
Those who tell the stories rule society
Some cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go
Although the world is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcoming of it
To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all
A man of virtue, judgment, and prudence speaks not until there is silence
Become dust - and they will throw thee in the air; Become stone - and they will throw thee on glass
