Resolve

Whoever reveals his decision [to others], his judiciousness gets nullified. مَنْ أظْهَرَ عَزْمَهُ بَطَلَ حَزْمُهُ۔ —Ghurar al-Hikam —غُرَرُ الحِکَم و دُرَرُ الکَلِم Whoever resolves to do evil, his arrow returns to him. مَنْ ساءَ عَزْمُهُ رَجَعَ عَلَيْهِ سَهْمُهُ۔ —Ghurar al-Hikam —غُرَرُ الحِکَم و دُرَرُ الکَلِم Do not resolve upon that in which you find no clear guidance. لاتَعْزِمْ عَلى مالَمْ تَسْتَبِنِ الرُّشْدَ فيهِ۔ —Ghurar al-Hikam —غُرَرُ الحِکَم و دُرَرُ الکَلِم There is no good in [making a] resolution without determination. لاخَيْرَ في عَزْم بِلا حَزْم۔ —Ghurar al-Hikam —غُرَرُ الحِکَم و دُرَرُ الکَلِم
