Quote

What broke in a man when he could bring himself to kill another?

The one who turns his back on the world and its comforts and, sets out on the path that leads to the Beloved has to face countless difficulties. But he brakes them all for the sake of the Beloved.

The man who is dissatisfied with himself, what can he do?

A man who makes trouble for others is also making trouble for himself.

We call that person who has lost his father, an orphan; and a widower that man who has lost his wife. But that man who has known the immense unhappiness of losing a friend, by what name do we call him? Here every language is silent and holds its peace in impotence.

A man of genius has been seldom ruined but by himself.

Life is short, but it's long enough to ruin any man who wants to be ruined.

The character of a people may be ruined by charity.

Nobody can write the life of a man but those who have eat and drunk and lived in social intercourse with him.
