I will be patient till even patience tires of my patience.

Everyone who is taken by death asks for more time, while everyone who still has time makes excuses for procrastination.

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.

The nourishment of body is food, while the nourishment of the soul is feeding others.

Authority, power, and wealth do not change a man; they only reveal him

A man's behavior is the index of the man, and his discourse is the index of his understanding.

One who rushes madly after inordinate desire, runs the risk of encountering destruction and death.
