Listen to the scholar with an attentive soul
Even if his action may not appear to agree with his word
Even if his action may not appear to agree with his word
The stubborn disagree wrongly:
How can the sleeping wake the asleep?
How can the sleeping wake the asleep?
Man must listen to advice
Even if it is written on a wall
Even if it is written on a wall
(Saadi)
