الْبَلَاءُ مُوَکِّلٌ بِالْمَنْطِقِ
Affliction comes from (loose) talk
الرَّاجِعُ فِيْ هِبَتِهِ کَالرَّاجِعِ فِيْ قَیْئِهِ
Someone who takes back his gift is like someone who eats his vomit
النَّاسُ کَأسْنَانِ الْمُشْطِ
People are like the teeth of a comb
مَا قَلَّ وَكَفَى خَيْرٌ مِمَّا كَثُرَ وَأَلْهَى
A little that suffices is better than an abundance that distracts
