Thoughts, Observations, Ideas and Words From the Silver Saffron Sage Book

He who knows anger
Knows no anger

He who knows patience 
Knows Allah 

He who knows acceptance 
Knows compassion

He whom has acquired 
knowledge 
Has acquired power

To know yourself is the first 
step
To know why you do what you 
do is the second
To be able to self correct is the 
third

Control your emotions and you 
will prosper
If you do not you will be in 
constant turmoil
