"Jesus, the Son of Mary, said, 'He who longs to be rich is like man who drinks sea-water; the more he drinks the more thirsty he becomes, and never leaves off drinking till he perishes.""
"Jesus once said, 'The world is like a deceitful woman, who, when asked how many husbands she had had, answered, so many that she could not count them.' And Jesus said, 'When they died, did they leave you behind?' 'On the contrary,' said she, 'I murdered and got rid of them.' 'Then,' said Jesus, 'It is strange that the rest had so little wisdom, that when they saw how you treated the others they still burned with such love for you, and did not take warning from their predecessors.' See others in Hofmann, ubi supr., p. 328. An interesting monograph might be written on the picture of Jesus as presented in the Mohammedan writings. In the Koran itself His name is frequently mentioned with those of various prophets; but the special references are not numerous
