Pride thyself on what virtue thou hast, and not on thy parentage.
Fear not the proud and the haughty; fear rather him who fears God.
When the ruler is obedient to God, God is his protector and friend.

The best loved by God are those that are rich, yet have the humility of the poor, and those that are poor and have the magnanimity of the rich.
A handsome woman is a jewel; a good woman is a treasure.
