Ch 08 On Rules For Conduct In Life - Maxim 61

Sa di 1210 (Shiraz) – 1291 (Shiraz)

The noblest of beings is evidently man, and the meanest a dog, but intelligent persons agree that a grateful dog is better than an ungrateful man.

        A dog never forgets a morsel received  
        Though thou throwest a stone at him a hundred times.  
        But if thou cherishest a base fellow a lifetime,  
        He will for a trifle suddenly fight with thee.
