A man of virtue, judgment, and prudence speaks not until there is silence
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
Virtue pardons the wicked, as the sandal-tree perfumes the axe which strikes it
The true disciple should aim to live for the gospel, rather than to die for it
Men are driven by two principal impulses, either by love or by fear
There’s nothing quite as frightening as someone who knows they are right
The nourishment of body is food, while the nourishment of the soul is feeding others.
Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone
Silence is the garden of thought
Both optimists and pessimists contribute to society. The optimist invents the aeroplane, the pessimist the parachute
