حکمت شماره ۳۸: مردمان را عیب نهانی پیدا مکن که مر ایشان را رسوا کنی و خود را بی اعتماد.

Wisdom No. 37: Whoever sits with the wicked will not see goodness. Wisdom No. 39: From a body without a heart, obedience does not come, and a skin without a brain is not worthy of possession.

Do not reveal people's hidden flaws, for you will disgrace them and make yourself untrustworthy.

مردمان را عیب نهانی پیدا مکن که مر ایشان را رسوا کنی و خود را بی اعتماد.

Whoever studies knowledge and does not act upon it is like

One who plows the field but does not sow seeds.

هر که علم خواند و عمل نکرد بدان ماند

که گاو راند و تخم نیفشاند.
