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.
SaadiRoam abroad in the world, and take thy fill of its enjoyments before the day shall come when thou must quit it for good.
SaadiHe who learns, and makes no use of his learning, is a beast of burden with a load of books. Does the ass comprehend whether he carries on his back a library or a bundle of faggots?
