Do not be like those on whom advice has no effect and who require punishment to correct themselves.

He who trusts the world, the world betrays him.

He who is greedy is disgraced; he who discloses his hardship will always be humiliated; he who has no control over his tongue will often have to face discomfort.

People's hearts are like wild animals. They attach their selves to those that love and train them.

A calamity does not descend except due to a sin and it is not lifted except with repentance.

Always consider your intellect to be lacking; otherwise too much faith in it surely leads to error.

Silence is the best reply to a fool.
