Saadi (1184 - 1291)
(orig. Musharrif ud-Din Muslih ud-Din)
Persian poet


~Nothing is so good for an ignorant man as silence; and if he was sensible of this he would not be ignorant.


~O wise man, wash your hands of that friend who associates with your enemies.


~Roam abroad in the world, and take thy fill of its enjoyments before the day shall come when thou must quit it for good.


~Whatever is produced in haste goes hastily to waste.
