I fear God the most, but after Him, I fear those who don't fear Him.

Whoever has his foe at his mercy, and does not kill him, is his own enemy

Anger that has no limit causes terror, and unseasonable kindness does away with respect. Be not so severe as to cause disgust, nor so lenient as to make people presume.

Whoever acquires knowledge but does not practice it is as one who ploughs but does not sow.

Court the society of a superior, and make much of the opportunity; for in the company of an equal thy good fortune must decline.

To him who is stinted of food a boiled turnip will relish like a roast fowl.

Do to me, O Allah, what is worthy of Thee; And not what is worthy of me.
