Here is a number of wise Arab proverbs I came across that I thought I’d share here.
– Believe what you see and lay aside what you hear.
– A known mistake is better than an unknown truth.
– Call someone your lord and he’ll sell you in the slave market.
– The fool has his answer on the tip of his tongue.
– The wound that bleedeth inwardly is the most dangerous.
– The wound of words is worse than the wound of swords.
– A house divided cannot stand.
– Seek counsel of him who makes you weep, and not of him who makes you laugh.
– Only the tent pitched by your own hands will stand.
– Ask the experienced rather than the learned.
– Think of the going out before you enter.
Nice 🙂 These are my favorites: “A known mistake is better than an unknown truth”, “Call someone your lord and he’ll sell you in the slave market”, “The wound that bleedeth inwardly is the most dangerous” and “Think of the going out before you enter”.

1. Anger without Cause
2. Speech without profit
3. Trust in strangers
4. Inquiry without object
5. Change without Motive
6.Inability to tell the difference between friend and foe
-You should be able to google the precise quote; I’ve learned these by memory because of how important it is in today’s world to exercise wisdom in what we do.
Meditating upon these six things has brought positive changes in my life.
