Saadi Shirazi

MORE BYSaadi Shirazi

    The first sovereign who laid stress on costume and wore rings on his left hand was Jamshid; and being asked why he had adorned his left whereas excellence resides in the right hand, he replied: 'The right hand is fully ornamented by its own rectitude.'

    Feridun ordered Chinese embroiderers

    To write around the borders of his tent:

    'Keep the wicked well, O intelligent man,

    Because the good are in themselves great and fortunate.'

    Story 2

    A great man having been asked why he wore his seal-ring on his left hand, whereas the right possesses so much excellence, replied: 'Knowest thou not that the meritorious are always neglected?'

    He who has created joy and distress

    Apportions either excellence or luck.
