Ch 08 On Rules For Conduct In Life - Maxim 80

What can an old prostitute do but vow to become chaste, and an policeman not to commit oppression upon men? A youth who sits in a corner is a hero in the path of God Because an old man is unable to rise from his corner. A youth must be strong minded to abstain from lust, Because even the sexual tool of an old man, of sluggish desire, rises not. THE GULISTAN OF SA'DI Translated by Richard Francis Burton (1821-1890)
