Not every man with a heart is understanding, nor every man with an ear a listener, and nor every man with eyes able to see.
Ali ibn Abi TalibTo maintain nice relation with the people is half of intelligence, nice questioning is half of knowledge, and nice domestic arrangements is half of the management of livelihood.
Ali ibn Abi TalibWhoever desires Paradise, proceeds towards goodness; whoever fears Hell, refrains from the impulses of passions; whoever believes firmly in death, detests wordly life; and whoever recognises the worldly life, the trials and tribulations (of life) become slight for him.
