A wise man lowers a ladder before he jumps into a pit. A good exercise for the heart is bending down and helping someone to get up. A wise man never knows all, only fools know everything. A friend is one who dislikes the same people that you dislike. A friend is never known until a man has need. A friend in court is better than a penny in purse. A father is a banker provided by nature. A dose of adversity is often as needful as a dose of medicine. A crucible for silver and a furnace for gold, but Allah tests the heart. A colt is worth little if it does not break its halter. |
