Contentment is a wealth that is never exhausted

Greed takes a person to the watering place but gets him back without letting him drink. It undertakes responsibility but does not fulfill it. Often the drinker gets choked before quenching his thirst. The greater the worth of a thing yearned for, the greater is the grief for its loss. Desires blind the eyes of understanding. The destined share would reach him who does not approach it.

Perfecting one's intellect causes one to speak less, and those words spoken will be adorned with wisdom.

Thy lot or portion of life is seeking after thee; therefore be at rest from seeking after it.

Your souls are precious and can only be equal to the price of Paradise, therefore sell them only at that price

Lead such a life, that, when you die, the people may mourn you, and while you are alive they long for your company.

Patience to faith is like the head to the body. The person who has no patience has not faith.
