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
He who trusts the world the world betrays him
Idealistic as it may sound, altruism should be the driving force in business, not just competition and a desire for wealth.
He who is fond of delicious food, let him bear in mind that ultimately he is to be food for worms
The unprepared mind cannot see the outstretched hand of opportunity
I have never developed indigestion from eating my words
Telling the truth left me with no friends
