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 could trust a fact and always cross-question an assertion
He who is fond of delicious food, let him bear in mind that ultimately he is to be food for worms
It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves
Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted
Mathematics is the language in which God has written the universe
As if you could kill time without injuring eternity
