Have patience. All things are difficult before they become easy.

He, who learns and makes no use of his learning, is a beast of burden, with a load of books.

Great God, have pity on the wicked, for thou didst everything for the good, when thou madest them good!

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.

If a gem falls into mud it is still valuable. If dust ascends to heaven, it remains valueless.

When you see contention amongst your enemies, go and sit at ease with your friends; but when you see them of one mind, string your bow, and place stones upon the ramparts.

Holiness comes by holy deeds. Not starving flesh of daily needs.
