Asceticism is not that you should not own anything, but that nothing should own you.
Ali ibn Abi TalibHate no one, no matter how much they've wronged you. Live humbly, no matter how wealthy you become. Think positively, no matter how hard life is. Give much, even if you've been given little. Keep in touch with the ones who have forgotten you, and forgive who has wronged you, and do not stop praying for the best for those you love.
Ali ibn Abi TalibA friend cannot be considered a friend until he is tested in three occasions: in timeof need, behind your back, and after your death.
