The sons of Adam are limbs of each other, Having been created of one essence. When the calamity of time affects one limb, the other limbs cannot remain at rest. If you have no sympathy for the troubles of others, You are unworthy to be called by the name of a human.

Use a sweet tongue, courtesy, and gentleness, and thou mayest manage to guide an elephant by a hair.

When thou seest thine enemy in trouble, curl not thy whiskers in contempt; for in every bone there is marrow, and within every jacket there is a man.

It is safer to be silent than to reveal one's secret to any one, and telling him not to mention it.

Avoid that which an enemy tells you to do; for if you follow his advice, you will smite your, knees with the hand of sorrow. If he shows you a road straight as an arrow, turn from it and go the other way.

God preserve us! If men knew what is done in secret, no one would be free from the interference of others.

If thou covetest riches, ask not but for contentment, which is an immense treasure.
