Authority, power, and wealth do not change a man; they only reveal him

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

Whoever wants to be a leader should educate himself before educating others. Before preaching to others he should first practice himself. Whoever educates himself and improves his own morals is superior to the man who tries to teach and train others.

Whoever desires Paradise, proceeds towards goodness; whoever fears Hell, refrains from the impulses of passions; whoever believes firmly in death, detests wordly life; and whoever recognises the worldly life, the trials and tribulations (of life) become slight for him.

The worst of our faults is our interest in other people's faults.

To make one good action succeed another, is the perfection of goodness.
