Maxim 68

  How can he hear whose organ of audition has been created dull, and

how can he avoid progressing upon whom the noose of happiness has been

flung?

        To the friends of God a dark night

        Shines like the brilliant day.

        This felicity is not by strength of arm

        Unless God the giver bestows it.

    To whom shall I complain of thee? There is no other judge

    And there is no other hand superior to thine.

    Whom thou guidest -no one can lead astray.

    Whom thou castest off no one can guide.
