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

If you are greeted then return the greetings more warmly. If you are favored, then repay the obligation manifold; but he who takes the initiative will always excel in merit.

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

If you find that somebody is not grateful for all that you have done for him, then do not get disappointed because often you will find that someone else feels under your obligation though you have done nothing for him and thus your good deeds will be compensated, and Allah will reward you for your goodness.

People's hearts are like wild animals. They attach their selves to those that love and train them.

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

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.
