Analysis of Ch 08 On Rules For Conduct In Life - Maxim 22
Sa di 1210 (Shiraz) – 1291 (Shiraz)
Affairs succeed by patience and a hasty man fails.
I saw with my eyes in the desert
That a slow man overtook a fast one.
A galloping horse, fleet like the wind, fell back
Whilst the camel-man continued slowly his progress.
