Ants, fighting together, will vanquish the lion
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
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
No person learned the art of archery from me, who did not in the end make me his target
You could not handle me even if I came with instructions
Strong minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, weak minds discuss people
We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars
People who say it cannot be done should not interrupt those who are doing it
Let us endeavor so to live so that when we come to die even the undertaker will be sorry
Holding onto anger is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die
