Greed takes a person to the watering place but gets him back without letting him drink. It undertakes responsibility but does not fulfill it. Often the drinker gets choked before quenching his thirst. The greater the worth of a thing yearned for, the greater is the grief for its loss. Desires blind the eyes of understanding. The destined share would reach him who does not approach it.
Ali ibn Abi TalibNothing hurts a good soul and kind heart more than to live amongst people who can't understand it.
Ali ibn Abi TalibDo not let your difficulties fill you with anxiety, after all it is only in the darkest nights that stars shine more brightly.
