The disease of the heart is worse than the disease of the body.

Not every man with a heart is understanding, nor every man with an ear a listener, and nor every man with eyes able to see.

Do not use the sharpness of your speech on your mother who taught you how to speak.

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

In this world, man is a target of death, an easy prey to calamities, here every morsel and every draught is liable to choke one, here one never receives a favour until he loses another instead, here every additional day in one's life is a day reduced from the total span of his existence, when death is the natural outcome of life, how can we expect immortality.

Whoever desires Paradise, proceeds towards goodness; whoever fears Hell, refrains from the impulses of passions; whoever believes firmly in death, detests wordly life; and whoever recognises the worldly life, the trials and tribulations (of life) become slight for him.

Do for this life as if you live forever, do for the afterlife as if you will die tomorrow.
