Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi

“The married pair must match one another: look at a pair of shoes or boots. 2310. If one of the shoes is too tight for the foot, the pair of them is of no use to thee. Hast thou ever seen one leaf of a (folding) door small and the other large, or a wolf mated with the lion of the jungle? A pair of sacks on a camel do not balance properly when one is small and the other of full size.”

Jalâl ud Dîn Rûmî, Mathnawi of Jalalu'ddin Rumi
