During civil disturbance adopt such an attitude that people do not attach any importance to you - they neither burden you with complicated affairs, nor try to derive any advantage out of you.

He who guards his secrets retains control in his own hands

Be afraid of a dignified man when he is hungry and a wicked man when his belly is full.

People are of two types, they are either your brothers in faith or your equals in humanity.

If you find that somebody is not grateful for all that you have done for him, then do not get disappointed because often you will find that someone else feels under your obligation though you have done nothing for him and thus your good deeds will be compensated, and Allah will reward you for your goodness.

Silence is the garden of thought.

The world is darkness; knowledge is light; but knowledge without truth is a mere shadow.
