Ch 08 On Rules For Conduct In Life - Maxim 06

Three things cannot subsist without three things: property without trade, science without controversy and a country without punishment. Speak sometimes in a friendly, conciliatory, manly way Perhaps thou wilt ensnare a heart with the lasso. Sometimes speak in anger; for a hundred jars of sugar Will on occasion not have the effect of one dose of colocynth. THE GULISTAN OF SA'DI Translated by Richard Francis Burton (1821-1890)
