In forming a store of good works thou shouldst be diligent, so that it may come to thy assistance among the spirits. - Zoroaster

Thou shouldst not become presumptuous through much treasure and wealth; for in the end it is necessary for thee to leave all.

Unto Thee, O Lord, the Soul of Creation cried:
"For whom didst Thou create me, and who so fashioned me?
Feuds and fury, violence and the insolence of might have oppressed me;
None have I to protect me save Thee;
Command for me then the blessings of a settled, peaceful life."

For a thinking man is where Wisdom is at home.
