It is better to break off a thousand friendships, than to endure the sight of a single enemy.

That which is not allotted the hand cannot reach; what is allotted you will find wherever you may be.

Whenever thy hand can reach it, tear out the foe's brain, for such an opportunity washes anger from the mind.

Fear not the proud and the haughty; fear rather him who fears God.

However much you study, you cannot know without action. A donkey laden with books is neither an intellectual nor a wise man. Empty of essence, what learning has he whether upon him is firewood or book?

A little beauty is preferable to much wealth.

If wisdom was to cease throughout the world, no one would suspect himself of ignorance.
