• "three kinds of relations are possible with princes, governors, and oppressors. the first and worst is that you visit them. somewhat better is the second, whereby they visit you; but best of all is the third, in which you keep your distance so that neither you see them nor they see you." gazali

• "i know very well that ten is more than three. if anyone tries to dissuade me by saying, 'no, three is more than ten, and wants to prove it by changing in front of me this stick into a serpent, even if i saw him changing it, still this fact would engender no doubt about my knowledge [that ten is more than three]. certainly, i would be astonished at such a power, but i would not doubt my knowledge. thus i came to know that whatever is known without this kind of certainty is doubtful knowledge, not reliable and safe, that all knowledge subject to error is not sure and certain." gazali (deliverance from error)
