Part 1

Fear God and you will have no cause to fear any one

Resignation to the Will of God is the cure of the disease of the heart

The word of God is the medicine of the heart

Lead such a life, that, when you die, the people mourn you, and while you are alive they long for your company

The days of life pass away like clouds, so do good while you are alive

Of all the follies, the greatest is to love the world

Pride, cowardice, and miserliness are bad for men but good for women

The most happy is he to whom God has given a good wife

He who knows himself knows God

Do not sell your conscience for anything but heaven


Part 2

The disease of the heart is worse than the disease of the body

To fight against one's desires is the greatest of all fights

The strongest amongst you is he who subdues his self

Wealth and greed are the roots of all evils

Riches without faith is the greatest poverty

A man's worth depends upon the nobility of his aspirations

Knowledge enlivens the soul

The learned lives, although he dies

The sum total of excellence is the right knowledge
To respect the learned is to respect God


Part 3

Generosity hides shortcomings

The wealth of a miser is as useless as a pebble

Desire of this world is one's most inveterate enemy

Those who walk on the surface of the earth shall one day be interred in it

Every breath of man brings him nearer to death

People are asleep as long as they are alive; they are awakened when they die

Patience is the fruit of faith

Virtue never dies

A man's glory from his virtue is greater than the glory from his pedigree

No shelter is safer than piety

A man's behavior is the index of his mind

Courtesy costs nothing but buys everything

Clemency graces power

Jealousy devours virtue as fire devours fuel

He that lends a listening ear to reproach is one of those that deserve reproach

Carnal appetites are nets spread by the devil

Every arrow does not hit the mark, nor every prayer granted

Ostentatious ness spoils prayers

Fear none but your sins
