I am surprised at three things: 1. [A] man runs from death while death is inevitable. 2. One sees minor faults in others, yet overlooks his own major faults. 3. When there is any defect to one's cattle he tries to cure it, but does not cure his own defects.
Death is teacher enough, true faith is wealth enough, and worship is action enough.
Get used to a rough life, for luxury does not last forever.
Acquire knowledge and teach it to people.
The efficacy of a prayer depends not on the words but on the sincerity of intention.
If your ruler is just, then praise God; but if he is unjust, pray to God to rid you of him.
