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.
Ali ibn Abi TalibPatience to faith is like the head to the body. The person who has no patience has not faith.
Ali ibn Abi TalibYour souls are precious and can only be equal to the price of Paradise, therefore sell them only at that price
Ali ibn Abi Talib
