In this world, man is a target of death, an easy prey to calamities, here every morsel and every draught is liable to choke one, here one never receives a favour until he loses another instead, here every additional day in one's life is a day reduced from the total span of his existence, when death is the natural outcome of life, how can we expect immortality.
Ali ibn Abi TalibNever explain yourself to anyone, because the one who likes you would not need it, and the one dislikes you wouldn't believe it.
Ali ibn Abi TalibA girl is a good deed and a boy is a bounty. Good deeds are rewarded while people are held accountable for bounties.
