君子之品德美如雄狮，小人之恶习丑似野犬。野犬一旦捕得食物，便迫不及待地立地狼吞虎咽；狮子却总是把自己的捕获物拉到另外的地方，慢慢食用。你的猎场便是这个尘世，你所追猎的对象便是知识和善行。
——昂苏尔·玛阿里（凯卡武斯）《卡布斯教诲录》，绪言

Now in this present world virtuous men are imbued with the spirit of lions, whereas wicked men have the spirit of dogs, for while the dog consumes his prey where he seizes it the lion takes it elsewhere. Your hunting-ground is this fleeting world and your quarry is knowledge and virtuous conduct.
Keikavus, or Un'sur al-Ma'ali, Qabus-nama, preface.
