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
I would prefer an intelligent hell to a stupid paradise
Art may make a suit of clothes, but nature must produce a man
A friend is one who has the same enemies as you have
I can't imagine a man really enjoying a book and reading it only once
It takes a very long time to become young
It matters if you just don't give up
