Ch 08 On Rules For Conduct In Life - Maxim 46

Two things are contrary to reason: to enjoy more than is decreed and to die before the time appointed. Fate will not change by a thousand laments and sighs, By thanks or complaints, issuing from the mouth. The angel appointed over the treasures of wind Cares not if the lamp of a widow dies. THE GULISTAN OF SA'DI Translated by Richard Francis Burton (1821-1890)
