Author of quotes: Saadi. Page 2

The greatness of this world is not forever,
Everything in it is false, transitory, fleeting.

For the time being the power of your suffering multiplies,
You draw prayer will not help.

But never in my life heard
That those who sow evil, welcome to contact us.

After all, others, like the predator, not tormented
The one who is the heart and soul possess.

To become great tomorrow
Live today, ousting small not.

The peace of the soul will lose and healthier
Listening to the bitter moaning of the patient.

The soul is more precious than all the riches of the earth,
The Treasury is empty better the pangs of human.
Not over poor to mock,
To not have legs they have to lie.

O king, do not oppress the common people,
Know this: your greatness will be.
You are weak, not strong. When spread
They own the mill, they crush you.

He who does good all his life, only one
The greatness of the true acquire.

Great is the king that luxury despises
But citizens from the scourge guards.
Husband noble pleasures anywhere
Not looking for, since his people are in trouble.

Was not a single Sultan overthrown
Wailing folk in the dust.

You Pushcha arrows beware sobs
People under the burden of excessive tribute!

Not for feasts and luxury the Treasury
It is for relics of military need.
Sultan disadvantaged men
Will not the state guard.

Who, by law, only penalty worthy
His execution, fear not, be calm.
