Words of Wisdom

  • I looked at all friends, and did not find a better friend than safeguarding the tongue. I thought about all dresses, but did not find a better dress than piety. I thought of all types of good deeds, but did not find a better deed than offering good advice. I look at all types of sustenance, but did not find a better sustenance than patience.
  • Everyone is in the world as a guest, and his money is but a loan. The guest must go sooner or later and the loan must be returned
  • Intention is the measure for rendering actions true, so that, where intention is sound, action is sound, and where it is corrupt, then action corrupt.
