Success is the result of foresight and resolution; foresight
depends upon deep thinking and planning to protect secrets.
Fear the attack of a noble person when he is hungry and a
mean person when his stomach is full.
The hearts of the people are like wild beasts, they attach
themselves to those who love and train them.
If your luck is favoring you, your defects will be hidden
from the eyes of the world.
Only he can forgive who has power to punish.
Generosity is that which is by one’s own initiative, giving
on being asked is either out of self-respect or to avoid rebuke.
There is no wealth like wisdom, no poverty than ignorance,
no inheritance like culture, no support like consultation.
Patience is of two kinds; patience over what pains you, and
patience against what you desire.
Wealth converts a foreign country into your native place and
poverty turns your native place into a strange land.
Contentment is wealth that does not diminish.
Wealth is the fountain head of passions.
Whoever warns against sins and vices is the one who is
carrying the news of salvation to you.
The tongue is such a ferocious beast that if let loose it
will act dangerously.
The women are such a snake that its contact is most
pleasing.
If you are wished or saluted, then return the wish in the
most appropriate manner. If you are favored, then repay the obligation many fold
although the credit would remain with the one who initiated.
The best source of success of a claimant is the mediator.
The people of the world are like travelers who are carried while
they are asleep.
To lose a friend is to become a stranger in one’s own
country.
To miss what one needs is easier than to beg from an
inappropriate person.
Do not be ashamed of giving little because to turn away the
needy is an act of greater shame.
Charity is the adornment of destitution while gratefulness
(to Allah) is the adornment of riches.
You will not find an ignorant person but one extreme or the
other.
As intelligence increases speech decreases.
Time wears our bodies, renews our desires, brings death near,
and takes away aspirations, successful encounters grief and whoever misses its
favors also undergoes hardships.
The breath of a man is a step towards his death.
