“Man is not worshipful unless he is clement.”
“He who reckons his own soul is successful; he who is heedless of it is unsuccessful.”
“Some signs of understanding are: clemency, knowledge, and silence. Silence is one of the doors to wisdom. It brings about love and is evidence for all good.”
“Reason is a free gift from God and politeness is acquisition. He who undertakes politeness has power over it. He who undertakes reason increases (himself) through that nothing but ignorance.”
