Arabian Wisdom, by John Wortabet, [1913], at sacred-texts.com
He is a good man who is a good neighbour.
No man enters heaven who is a bad neighbour.
A good neighbour is he who is not only harmless, but bears harm with patience.
Be friends, but do not become neighbours.
In social life be as friends, in business as strangers.
Prefer a near neighbour to a distant brother.
