Words of Wisdom

I respect the wise for their wisdom, and in their wisdom you will find respect Sit with the wise and with the elders, avert all those who are despicable Accompany those whose acts are righteous and know that it is wise to avoid the ignoble Do good, for good deeds are saviours, from all the bad you may encounter in life Stay far away from all that is futile and evil, as far as the East furthers the West Do not be unjust to people when judging and make sure that your verdict is fair Do not follow the whims of those who are corrupted, for the path of corruption is ever so dark Envy is a fire that consumes the body and hatred is as fatal as poison can be Do not extend your hand to those who are envious or evil, evade those with sickness in their heart Saleh Ben Saleh
