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 TalibPatience is of two kinds: patience over what pains you, and patience against what you covet.
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.
