A man's worth depends upon the nobility of his aspirations.

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.

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.

Be like a flower that gives its fragrance even to the hand that crushed it.

No one has ever suffered from his people as I have.

Patience to faith is like the head to the body. The person who has no patience has not faith.

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