The sinner does not feel any remorse over his sins, that is because his heart is already dead

And if a person were given all of the world and what is in it, it would not fill his emptiness.

Ibn Taymiyyah lived poorly. He was imprisoned and threatened. But I have never seen anyone as happy as him.

Be sincere in your aim and you will find the support of Allaah surrounding you.

The ibtilaa' (testing) of the believer is like medicine for him. It cures him from illness. Had the illness remained it would destroy him or diminish his reward and level (in the hereafter). The tests and the trials extract these illnesses from him and prepare him for the perfect reward and the highest of degrees (in the life to come).

Be to Allah as He wishes, and He will be to you more than you can wish for.

Sitting with the poor and less fortunate people removes the ego and pride from your heart.
