Ch 08 On Rules For Conduct In Life - Maxim 82

Two men died, bearing away their grief. One had possessed wealth and not enjoyed it, the other knowledge and not practised it. No one sees an excellent but avaricious man Without publishing his defect But if a liberal man has a hundred faults His generosity covers his imperfections. THE GULISTAN OF SA'DI Translated by Richard Francis Burton (1821-1890)
