The best deed of a great man is to forgive and forget.

Don't engage your heart in grief over the past or you wont be ready for what is coming.

The worst of our faults is our interest in other people's faults.

He who busies himself with things other than improvement of his own self becomes perplexed in darkness and entangled in ruin. His evil spirits immerse him deep in vices and make his bad actions seem handsome.

Blessed is he whose own faults keep him from seeing the faults of others.

Greed takes a person to the watering place but gets him back without letting him drink. It undertakes responsibility but does not fulfill it. Often the drinker gets choked before quenching his thirst. The greater the worth of a thing yearned for, the greater is the grief for its loss. Desires blind the eyes of understanding. The destined share would reach him who does not approach it.

I was not created to be occupied by eating delicious foods like tied up cattle.
