1. الجَهل أَسوءُ ما ماتَ الشَقيُّ بِهِ

    وَالعلم خَير حَياة نالَها السعدا

    Ignorance is the worst thing the wretched have died of.

    And knowledge is the best life the fortunate have attained.

  2. فَاِعمل بِعلمك وَاِسمَع حكمَةً وَرَدَت

    مَن صارَ بِالعلم حَيّاً لَم يَمُت أَبَدا

    So act on your knowledge, and hear a wise saying handed down:

    Whoever comes alive through knowledge never dies.
