these 3 were some of the ones that really stood out for me!


"I am surprised at three things:
1. [A] man runs from death while death is inevitable.
2. One sees minor faults in others, yet overlooks his own major faults.
3. When there is any defect to one's cattle he tries to cure it, but does not cure his own defects."

"O I am not worried about the poverty of the Muslims. I am afraid lest by getting rich they might become proud and thereby invite destruction. "

"To flatter is to slaughter."
