Analysis of Ch 02 The Morals Of Dervishes Story 21
Sa di 1210 (Shiraz) – 1291 (Shiraz)
Loqman, being asked from whom he had learnt civility, replied: ‘From those who had no civility because what appeared to me unbecoming in them I refrained from doing.’
Not a word is said even in sport
Without an intelligent man taking advice thereby.
But if a hundred chapters of wisdom are read to a fool
All strike his ear merely as sport.
