Sayings...

اقوال ...

Woman has in her glances a power greater than man's in his laws and statutes, and the effect of her tear is stronger than the effect of his sword. (Voltaire)

Just as volcanoes do not erupt unless their slopes are flooded with water, so souls do not burst forth in their vengeance unless a sea of tears has flooded them. (Carmen Sylva)

Do not fawn upon the base man, lest your manliness fall under suspicion; nor upon the rich man, lest your integrity fall under suspicion; nor upon the ignorant man, lest your discernment fall under suspicion. (Ahmad Shawqi)

I have walked in the light of the sun, the moon, and the lamp, and I have found nothing that gives brighter light than my heart. And I have fallen from various heights, and nothing has weighed on me like the slips of my tongue!! (Rikarod)
