Story 15-the Rules for Conduct in Life- gulistaan-e-sa.adii
Saadi Shirazi
MORE BYSaadi Shirazi
A fool is pleased by flattery like the inflated heel of a corpse that has the appearance of fatness.
Take care not to listen to the voice of a flatterer
Who expects cheaply to derive profit from thee.
If one day thou failest to satisfy his wishes
He enumerates two hundred faults of thine.
