By justice and equity I gained the affections of the people of God; and I extended my clemency to the guilty as well as to the innocent; and I passed that sentences which trust required; and by the benevolence I gained place in the hearts of people.
From the Institutes of Temur
As soon as Amir Temur became free from government affairs, every evenings he is used to invite scholars and specialists inquiring about the most delicate issues of science and religion.
From Zafar-name by Sharafiddin Ali Yazdi
There is no space area where you can’t see any village or waste plot of land; they are so famous that, apparently Temur-Beg`s words “I have got a garden stretched to thirty miles” belong to those districts.
Zahiriddin Muhammad Babur
Amir Temur paid a great attention to the government and trade activities in his country. He was quite strict towards his public officials appointed by him. He wanted discipline and justice to exist in all his regions, especially when he was absent. As he returned from campaigns of distant countries, he used to make written conclusions and correct the mistakes made during the campaign. Nothing was neglected while revising.
