The fortune of a person that comes through the ears is for himself and that which is on the tongue...
اَلحَظُّ لِلإنْسانِ فِي الأُذُنِ لِنَفْسِهِ وَفِي اللِّسانِ لِغَيْرِهِ۔
—Ghurar al-Hikam
—غُرَرُ الحِکَم و دُرَرُ الکَلِم
Fortune rushes towards the one who does not seek it.
اَلحَظُّ يَسْعى إلى مَنْ لايَخْطُبُهُ۔
—Ghurar al-Hikam
—غُرَرُ الحِکَم و دُرَرُ الکَلِم
