The Masters Call

I got these quotes out of a book I bought from a Muslim bookstore a few years ago, entitled, “A dictionary of Arabic and Islamic Proverbs.” I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

On Ambition:

“To get what you want you must be prepared to kiss a dog on its mouth.” -Tunisian-

“If you fall in love, fall in love with a prince; if you steal, steal silk; and if you knock at a door, knock at the door of a great man, so that when they revile you it will be for something big.” -Lebanese-

“Every illiterate dreams of being prime minister.” -Turkish- 

On Anxiety:

“In this world only three things dispel anxiety: women, horses, and book.” -Arabic-

“If you have anxieties, go to sleep.” -Moorish-

How about that for quotes of the day?
