Analysis of Ch 08 On Rules For Conduct In Life - Caution 01
Sa di 1210 (Shiraz) – 1291 (Shiraz)
Give not information to a padshah of the treachery of anyone, unless thou art sure he will accept it; else thou wilt only be preparing thy own destruction.
Prepare to speak only when
Thy words are likely to have effect.
Speech is a perfection in the soul of man
But do not ruin thyself by speaking.
