یکی از جماعت وزرا گفت : چهار کارست کی تا تمام نشوذ، بر وی مدح وذم لازم نیایذ ، اول غذا تا منهضم نگردذ ، دیگر زن حامله تا حمل ننهذ، سدیگر شجاع تا از مصاف بیرون نایذ، چهارم برزگر تا از بذر ونخم ری ونزل برنگیرذ. دیگری گفت : هیچ علمی بی آلات وأدوات محصل نگردذ ، وآن صفوت طبیعت ، وکمال کیاست است وقوت حفظ ورویت ، وبا این همه بی عنایت رتبانی ، وتأسد آسمانی در امکان نیایذ ، ومعتاد ومعهود مردمان آنست ، کی چون در اول نشؤ، وابتدای صبا، وحداثت سن، وعنفوان شباب، کی ذهن وخاطر در غایت حدت وصفا ، وقریحت وفطنت در کمال نشو ونما باشذ ، اگر از علوم چیزی حاصل نشوذ ، در انتهای اعمار وکبر سن هم حاصل نیایذ . دیگری گفت : سندباذ درعلوم وفضایل متبحرست ، واز وفور فنون متوفر ، وحکما ریاض الفاظ ، وچمن نطق ،

> One of the company of viziers said, 'There are four things that do not warrant praise or blame until they are completed:  
> first, food until it is digested; second, a pregnant woman until she gives birth; third, a brave warrior until  
> he emerges from the battle; fourth, a farmer until he gathers yield and crop from the seed and grain.' Another  
> said, 'No science can be acquired without tools and instruments, and those are purity of nature,  
> perfection of sagacity, and strength of memory and reflection; and with all this, it cannot be possible without divine grace and celestial  
> confirmation. The custom and experience of people is that when in the beginning of growth,  
> the start of childhood, the tenderness of age, and the prime of youth—when the mind and memory are at the height of sharpness  
> and clarity, and natural talent and intelligence are in the perfection of growth and development—if nothing of the sciences is acquired,  
> it will likewise not be acquired at the close of one's days and in old age.' Another said, 'Sindbād is deeply versed in the sciences  
> and virtues, and abundantly endowed with numerous disciplines; and sages consider it an obligation to guard and protect the gardens of words, the meadow of speech,
