He who learns the rules of wisdom, without conforming to them in his life, is like a man who labored in his fields, but did not sow

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

If thou art of elephant-strength or of lion-claw, still peace is, in my opinion, better than strife.

To the eye of enmity virtue appears the ugliest blemish.

A wise man among the ignorant is as a beautiful girl in the company of blind men.

Whosoever formeth an intimacy with the enemies of his friends, does so to injure the latter. O wise man! wash your hands of that friend who associates with your enemies.

I fear God the most, but after Him, I fear those who don't fear Him.
