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.

I will be patient till even patience tires of my patience.

The wiser a man is, the less talkative will he be.

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.

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

Blessed is he whose own faults keep him from seeing the faults of others.

A man is hid under his tongue.
