Ch 02 The Morals Of Dervishes Story 21

Loqman, being asked from whom he had learnt civility, replied: ‘From those who had no civility because what appeared to me unbecoming in them I refrained from doing. ’ Not a word is said even in sport Without an intelligent man taking advice thereby. But if a hundred chapters of wisdom are read to a fool All strike his ear merely as sport. THE GULISTAN OF SA'DI Translated by Richard Francis Burton (1821-1890)
