O wise man, wash your hands of that friend who associates with your enemies.

Whenever you argue with another wiser than yourself in order that others may admire your wisdom, they will discover your ignorance.

Shut the door of that house of pleasure which you hear resounding with the loud voice of a woman.

The world is not a courtroom There is no judge no jury no plaintiff. This is a caravan filled with eccentric beings telling wondrous stories about God.

A man of virtue, judgment, and prudence speaks not until there is silence.

The rose and thorn, the treasure and dragon, joy and sorrow, all mingle into one.

He who is intoxicated with wine will be sober again in the course of the night, but he who is intoxicated by the cupbearer will not recover his senses until the day of judgement.
