MORE BYSaadi Shirazi

    Loqman, being asked from whom he had learnt civility, replied: 'From those who had no civility because what appeared to me unbecoming in them I refrained from doing.'

    Not a word is said even in sport

    Without an intelligent man taking advice thereby.

    But if a hundred chapters of wisdom are read to a fool

    All strike his ear merely as sport
