Analysis of Ch 08 On Rules For Conduct In Life - Maxim 62
Sa di 1210 (Shiraz) – 1291 (Shiraz)
Who panders to his passions will not cultivate accomplishments and who possesses none is not suitable for a high position.
Have no mercy on a voracious ox
Who sleeps a great deal and eats much.
If thou wantest to have fatness like an ox,
Yield thy body to the tyranny of people like an ass.
