A man's behavior is the index of the man, and his discourse is the index of his understanding.

One who rushes madly after inordinate desire, runs the risk of encountering destruction and death.

A calamity does not descend except due to a sin and it is not lifted except with repentance.

A wise man first thinks and then speaks and a fool speaks first and then thinks.

One who is mild rather than forceful has greater capacity for outreach.

Do not let your difficulties fill you with anxiety, after all it is only in the darkest nights that stars shine more brightly.

I wonder at a man who loses hope of salvation when the door of repentance is open for him.
