Now that another is suffering pain at thy hand, trust not that thy heart shall be exempt from affliction.
SaadiWhen a mean wretch cannot vie with another in virtue, out of his wickedness he begins to slander. The abject envious wretch will slander the virtuous man when absent, but when brought face to face his loquacious tongue becomes dumb.
SaadiBe sure, either that thou art stronger than thine enemy, or that thou hast a swifter pair of heels.
Saadi
