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
He that can have patience can have what he will
If you have a garden and a library you have everything you need
The very essence of instinct is that it's followed independently of reason
The things that we love tell us what we are
He who learns but does not think, is lost! He who thinks but does not learn is in great danger
A capacity, and taste, for reading gives access to whatever has already been discovered by others
