Better is the sinner who hath thoughts about God, than the saint who hath only the show of sanctity
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.
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
No person learned the art of archery from me, who did not in the end make me his target
You can often change your circumstances by changing your attitude
Patience ensures victory
To seek death is death's only cure.
Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow ripening fruit
Blushing is the most peculiar and most human of all expressions
Ignore those that make you fearful and sad, that degrade you back towards disease and death
