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 TalibThere is no capital more useful than intellect and wisdom, and there is no indigence more injurious than ignorance and unawareness.
Ali ibn Abi TalibDo not use the sharpness of your speech on your mother who taught you how to speak.
