حکمت شمارهٔ 44

Poet: Saadi

English translation: Rehatsek
پنجه با شیر زدن و مشت با شمشیر، کار خردمندان نیست.
جنگ و زورآوری مکن با مست
پیش سرپنجه در بغل نه دست

To strike one’s fist on a lion, and to grasp the sharp edge of a sword with the hand, is not the part of an intelligent man.

Do not fight or try thy strength with a furious man. Hide thy hands in thy arm-pits to avoid his finger-nails.
