Analysis of Ch 08 On Rules For Conduct In Life - Maxim 55
Sa di 1210 (Shiraz) – 1291 (Shiraz)
One of the requirements for society is to attend to the affairs of thy household and also at the house of God.
Tell thy tale according to thy hearer’s temper,
If thou knowest him to be biased to thee.
Every wise man who sits with Mejnun
Speaks of nothing but the story of Laila’s love
