Sassanid Quotations

"The most disgraceful thing is for kings to disdain learning and be afraid of science."

"The throne depends on the army, the army on revenue, revenue on agriculture, and agriculture on justice."

Khusro
King of the Sassanid empire, 6th century AD.
Quoted from Justinian's Flea by William Rosen.
