Virtue pardons the wicked, as the sandal-tree perfumes the axe which strikes it
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
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
Success is a lousy teacher. It seduces smart people into thinking they can't lose
He who hid well, lived well
The tongue like a sharp knife… Kills without drawing blood
The cure for pain is in the pain.
You can often change your circumstances by changing your attitude
There is truth in wine and children
