“The increase of blessing is not interrupted by God, unless thanksgiving is interrupted by the slaves.”

“Turning to God with the deep of the heart is much better than tiring the organs.”

“Modesty is the decoration of poverty, thanks-giving is the decoration of affluence and wealth. Patience and endurance are the ornaments and decorations of calamities and distress. Humility is the decoration of lineage, and eloquence is the decoration of speech. Committing to memory is the decoration of tradition , and bowing the shoulders is the decoration of knowledge. Decency and good morale is the decoration of the mind, and a smiling face is the decoration of munifence and generiosity. Not boasting of doing favours is the decoration of good deeds, and humility is the decoration of service. Spending less is the decoration of contentment, and abondoning the meaningless and unnecessary things is the decoration of abstention and fear of God.”

“If the ignorant keeps silent, people would not differ.”

“Knowledgeable persons are strangers because of the many ignorant people around them.”

“The lapse of time uncovers hidden secrets.”
