Wisdom No. 40: Not everyone who is quick in argument is honest in dealings.

حکمت شماره ۴۰: نه هر که در مجادله چست، در معامله درست.

Wisdom No. 39: From a body without a heart, obedience does not come, and a skin without a brain is not worthy of possession. Wisdom No. 41: If all nights were the Night of Power (Qadr), the Night of Power would be without value.

Not everyone who is skilled in argument is honest in business.

نه هر که در مجادله چُست، در معامله درست.

Many a beautiful figure may be under a chador,

But when you open it (reveal it), it may be an old woman.

بس قامت ِ خوش که زیر ِ چادَر باشد

چون باز کنی مادر مادر باشد
