Who has renounced appetites for the sake of approbation by men has fallen from licit into illicit appetites. <br /> <br /> A devotee who sits in a corner not for God’s sake <br /> Is helpless. What can he see in a dark mirror? <br /> <br />Little by little becomes much and drop by drop will be a torrent; that is to say, he who has no power gathers small stones that he may at the proper opportunity annihilate the pride of his foe. <br /> <br /> Drop upon drop collected will make a river. <br /> Rivers upon rivers collected will make a sea. <br /> Little and little together will become much. <br /> The granary is but grain upon grain. <br /><br />Saadi Shirazi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/ch-08-on-rules-for-conduct-in-life-maxim-42/
