I looked at all friends, and did not find a better friend than safeguarding the tongue. I thought about all dresses, but did not find a better dress than piety. I thought about all types of wealth, but did not find a better wealth than contentment in little. I thought of all types of good deeds, but did not find a better deed than offering good advice. I looked at all types of sustenance, but did not find a better sustenance than patience.

Lower your gaze from the world and turn your heart away from it...

May Allah show mercy upon the man who shows me my faults.

Patience is the healthiest ingredient of our life.

When a man puts me a question, I judge of his intelligence.

Do not accept gifts; [because] that is bribery.

Try as much as you can to mention death. For if you were having hard times in your life, then it would give you more hope and would ease things for you. And if you were having abundant affluence of living in luxury, then it would make it less luxurious.
