A moment of patience in a moment of anger prevents a thousand moments of regret.

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.

Never explain yourself to anyone, because the one who likes you would not need it, and the one dislikes you wouldn't believe it.

He who is greedy is disgraced; he who discloses his hardship will always be humiliated; he who has no control over his tongue will often have to face discomfort.

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.

Let me alone, and go in search of someone else.

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