Do not share the knowledge with which you have been blessed with everyone in general, as you do with some people in particular; and know that there are some men in whom Allah, may He he glorified, has placed hidden secrets, which they are forbidden to reveal.

Often your utterances and expressions of your face leak out the secrets of your hidden thoughts.

Do not take someone's silence as his pride, perhaps he is busy fighting with his self.

How strange and foolish is man. He looses his health in gaining wealth. Then to regain health he wastes his wealth. He ruins is present while worrying about his future - but weeps in the future by recalling his past. He lives as though death shall never come to him - but dies in a way as if he were never born.

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

Wealth tends to create enemies, whereas knowledge tends to warm hearts.

Beautiful people are not always good, but good people are always beautiful.
