A wise man first thinks and then speaks and a fool speaks first and then thinks. — Hazrat Ali Ibn-e- Abi Talib. Son of Ali ibn Abi Talib (died in 680)
Unfortunate is he who cannot gain a few sincere friends during his life and more unfortunate is the one who has gained them and then lost them (through his deeds).
If you overpower your enemy, then pardon him by way of thankfulness to Allah, for being able to subdue him.
Live amongst people in such a manner that if you die they weep over you and if you are alive they crave for your company.
He who is greedy is disgraced; he who discloses his hardship will always be humiliated; he who has no control over his tongue will often have to face discomfort.
Man is a wonderful creature; he sees through the layers of fat (eyes), hears through a bone (ears) and speaks through a lump of flesh (tongue).
