“Silence is a door among the doors of wisdom - indeed, silence begets and attracts love, it is the proof of all the beneficiences.”

“He who takes himself to account gets benefitted, and the one who gets negligent and careless about himself bears loss. The one who fears becomes peaceful, and the one who takes lesson becomes most clear sighted and discerning. He who becomes most clear sighted, understands; and he who understands and comprehends becomes knowledgeable and informed.”

“Every curiosity is in need of the curiosity of speech.”

“Wisdom and intellect is every man's friend, ignorance and illiteracy are his enemies.”

“He who reckons his own soul is successful; he who is heedless of it is unsuccessful.”

“A trustworthy person does not betray you, but you consider the betrayer to be trustworthy.”
