Letters to Lucilius (Latin)
Our friend Demetrius is wont to say neatly that the voices of the ignorant are to him in the same place as the noises let out by the belly.
in the texts
Kitāb al-Safīnah al-Nūḥīyah fī al-sakīnah al-rūḥīyah
The type of the ignorant, loose-tongued self-righteous man who slanders the living and the dead and declares the learned unbelievers, offered as the pattern the reader must not follow.
You see such a man devoid of knowledge, scant in works, the sinner of the folk, long in hope, supposing that Paradise was adorned for none but him and that the degrees were appointed for none but such as he.
Letters to Lucilius
The class of ignorant or slanderous people whose opinions and rumors, including about death, are not to be feared.
Our friend Demetrius is wont to say neatly that the voices of the ignorant are to him in the same place as the noises let out by the belly.
What madness it is to fear being defamed by the infamous!
We are in no man's power, when death is in our own power.
