"In a book of the Persians, I read that Ardashir advised his son thus: ...Whatever qualities that exist in a king, he should not have these five:
1-He should not be a liar, for if he's a liar he promises good that he doesn't hope for, and promises evil he does not fear.
2-He should not be miserly, for if he is miserly none shall advise him, and ruleship cannot be fixed except with advice.
3-He should not be wrathful, for if he is wrathful with such power (he holds), the people will die and perish.
4-He should not be envious, for if he is, he honors and esteems no one no one of the people, except for the nobles.
5-He should not be a coward, for if he is, he will lose his border territories and the enemy will dare to attack him."

Ibn Qutaybah Dinavari, ‘Uyūn al-Aẖbār ('Chosen Narratives'), Beirut (1988), vol. I pp. 67.
