1. ما ذاقَ طعم الغنى من لا قنوعَ له

    ولن ترى قانِعاً ما عاشَ مفتَقِرا

    He who lacks contentment has never tasted the flavor of wealth.

    And you will never see a contented man in want as long as he lives.

  2. والعرفُ من يأتهِ تحمد عواقبهُ

    ما ضاع عرفٌ وإن أولَيتهُ حجرا

    And kindness has praiseworthy consequences for whoever practices it.

    No kindness is wasted, even if you bestow it upon a stone.
