James Wood, comp. Dictionary of Quotations. 1899. Mahomet
Every good act is charity. A man’s true wealth hereafter is the good that he does in this world to his fellows. 1 If any one tells you that a man has changed his character, don’t believe it. 2 If the mountain will not come to Mahomet, Mahomet will go to the mountain. 3 On the day of the resurrection, those who have indulged in ridicule will be called to the door of Paradise, and have it shut in their faces when they reach it. 4 Paradise is under the shadow of our swords. 5 Patience is the key of content. 6 Teach your children poetry; it opens the mind, lends grace to wisdom, and makes the heroic virtues hereditary. 7 Tie your camel up as best you can, and then trust it to Providence. 8 To overcome evil with good is good, to resist evil by evil is evil. 9
