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

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

He who understands humanity seeks solitude

The highest person is he who is of most use to humankind.

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.

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

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.
