ABDER-RAHMAN III
Spanish-Moslem Caliph of Cordoba (912 - 961)
|
I have now reigned above fifty years in victory or peace, beloved
by my subjects, dreaded by my enemies, and respected by my
allies. Riches and honors, power and pleasure, have waited on my
call, nor does any earthly blessing appear to have been wanting
to my felicity. In this situation, I have diligently numbered
the days of pure and genuine happiness which have fallen to my
lot; they amount to fourteen. O man, place not thy confidence in
this present world!
- [Happiness]
