One who is pleased by that which harms him will not be successful.
لايُفْلِحُ مَنْ يَسُرُّهُ ما يُضِرُّهُ۔
—Ghurar al-Hikam
—غُرَرُ الحِکَم و دُرَرُ الکَلِم
The successful one is he who [either] spreads his wings or remains peaceful and enjoys ease.
المُفْلِحُ مَنْ نَهَضَ بِجَناح، أوِ اسْتَسْلَمَ فَاسْتَراحَ۔
—Ghurar al-Hikam
—غُرَرُ الحِکَم و دُرَرُ الکَلِم
