Agnus Dei 37

The Children of Adam are limbs of each other Having been created of one essence.

When the calamity of time afflicts one limb The other limbs cannot remain at rest.

If thou hast no sympathy for the troubles of others Thou art unworthy to be called by the name of a man.

Sa'adi Shirazi (1213 – 1293)
