Analysis of Ch 03 On The Excellence Of Contentment Story 01
Sa di 1210 (Shiraz) – 1291 (Shiraz)
A Maghrabi supplicant said in Aleppo in the row of linen-drapers: ‘Lords of wealth, if you were just and we contented, the trade of begging would vanish from the world.’
O contentment, make me rich
For besides thee no other wealth exists.
Loqman selected the corner of patience.
Who has no patience has no wisdom.
