Persian to Person

“One pound of learning requires ten pounds of common sense to apply it.”

“He who has been bitten by a snake fears a piece of string.”

“Use your enemy's hand to catch a snake” (and clean the bird cage)

“Good poets are like angels of Heaven”

“By a sweet tongue and kindness, you can drag an elephant with a hair”

“A stone thrown at the right time is better than gold given at the wrong time”

"When there is no enemy within, the enemies outside cannot hurt you"
