Sa di

Ch 08 On Rules For Conduct In Life - Maxim 20

Satan cannot conquer the righteous and the sultan the poor. Lend nothing to a prayerless man Although his mouth may gasp from penury; Because he who neglects the commands of God Will also not care for what he may be indebted to thee. THE GULISTAN OF SA'DI Translated by Richard Francis Burton (1821-1890)
