Analysis of Ch 08 On Rules For Conduct In Life - Maxim 05
Sa di 1210 (Shiraz) – 1291 (Shiraz)
The country is adorned by intelligent and the religion by virtuous men. Padshahs stand more in need of the advice of intelligent men than intelligent men of the proximity of padshahs.
If thou wilt listen to advice, padshah,
There is none better in all books than this:
‘Entrust a business to an intelligent man
Although it may not be his occupation.’
