Nothing is so good for an ignorant man as silence; and if he was sensible of this he would not be ignorant.

When the belly is empty, the body becomes spirit; and when it is full, the spirit becomes body.

If thou art wise, incline to truth; for truth, not the semblance, remains in its place.

Roam abroad in the world, and take thy fill of its enjoyments before the day shall come when thou must quit it for good.

Keep belly lightly loaded, if mind would wisdom see;For bodies crammed to bursting, make empty souls to be.

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.

All human beings are limbs of the same body. God created them from the same essence. If one part of the body suffers pain, then the whole body is affected. If you are indifferent to this pain, you cannot be called a human being.
