Al-Qadi ‘Ali ibn Abdul Aziz al-Jurjani said:
ما تطعمت لذة العيش حتى .. صرت للبيت والكــتاب جليسا
ليس شيء أعز من العــلــــم ... فما أبتغي سواه أنيسا
......إنما الذل في مخالطـةِ الــنـا س ... فدعهم وعش عزيزاً رئيسا
“I never tasted the sweetness of life until
I became a companion of home and book,
There is nothing more honourable than knowledge,
So I seek in no other an associate,
Truly the only degradation is in mixing with people,
Therefore leave them and live nobly and stately.
