A friend whom you have been gaining during your whole life, you ought not to be displeased with in a moment. A stone is many years becoming a ruby; take care that you do not destroy it in an instant against another stone. - [Friends] A handsome woman is a jewel; a good woman is a treasure. - [Beauty] A little, and a little, collected together become a great deal; the heap in the barn consists of single grains, and drop and drop from an inundation. - [Trifles] A man of virtue, judgment, and prudence speaks not until there is silence. - [Wisdom] A traveler without observation is a bird without wings. - [Travel] A wise man in the company of those who are ignorant has been compared by the sages to a beautiful girl in the company of blind men. - [Ignorance] An enemy to whom you show kindness becomes your friend, excepting lust, the indulgence of which increases its enmity. - [Lust] Avoid that which an enemy tells you to do; for if you follow his advice, you will smite your, knees with the hand of sorrow. If he shows you a road straight as an arrow, turn from it and go the other way. - [Enemies] Be generous, and pleasant-tempered, and forgiving; even as God scatter favors over thee, do thou scatter over the people. - [Benevolence] Be not in the desire of thine own ease. - [Selfishness] But for the cravings of the belly not a bird would have fallen into the snare; nay, nay, the fowler would not have spread his net.

There is not a more unfortunate wretch than the oppressor; for in the day of adversity nobody is his friend. - [Oppression] Hunger is a cloud out of which falls a rain of eloquence and knowledge; when the belly is empty, the body becomes spirit; when it is full, the spirit becomes body. - [Appetite] I fear God, and next to God, I chiefly fear him who fears Him not. - [God] I have often found a small stream at its fountain-head, that, when followed up, carried away the camel with his load. - [Habit] If thou art of elephant-strength or of lion-claw, still peace is, in my opinion, better than strife. - [Strife] If thou art wise, incline to truth; for truth, not the semblance, remains in its place. - [Truth] Displaying page 1 of 3 for this author: Next >> [1] 2 3
