More quotes by Ali ibn Abi Talib
He who trusts the world, the world betrays him.
Ali ibn Abi Talib
Whoever wants to be a leader should educate himself before educating others. Before preaching to others he should first practice himself. Whoever educates himself and improves his own morals is superior to the man who tries to teach and train others.
Ali ibn Abi Talib
Know thyself, and thou shalt know God.
Ali ibn Abi Talib
An alert and learned man will take advice from any event.
Ali ibn Abi Talib
Do not use the sharpness of your speech on your mother who taught you how to speak.
Ali ibn Abi Talib
Do not hate what you do not know, for the greater part of knowledge consists of what you do not know.
Ali ibn Abi Talib
A wise man first thinks and then speaks and a fool speaks first and then thinks.
Ali ibn Abi Talib
Awaken your heart to kindness and mercy for the people and love and tenderness for them. Never, never act with them like a predatory beast which seeks to be satiated by devouring them, for the people fall into two categories: they are either your brethren in faith or your kindred in creation.
Ali ibn Abi Talib
He who guards his secrets retains control in his own hands
Ali ibn Abi Talib
Patience is of two kinds: patience over what pains you, and patience against what you covet.
Ali ibn Abi Talib
Do not let your difficulties fill you with anxiety, after all it is only in the darkest nights that stars shine more brightly.
Ali ibn Abi Talib
Never make a decision in anger and never make a promise in happiness.
Ali ibn Abi Talib
Silence is the garden of thought.
Ali ibn Abi Talib
An accepted deed is never small in Taqwa (consciousness of Allah), how can what has been accepted be small?
Ali ibn Abi Talib
The word of God is the medicine of the heart.
Ali ibn Abi Talib
The sin which makes you sad and repentant is more liked by Allah than the good deed which turns you arrogant.
Ali ibn Abi Talib
Safety lies in silence. It is easier to rectify what you miss by silence, than to secure what you lose by speaking.
Ali ibn Abi Talib
If you are greeted then return the greetings more warmly. If you are favored, then repay the obligation manifold but he who takes the initiative will always excel in merit.
Ali ibn Abi Talib
There is no greater wealth than wisdom, no greater poverty than ignorance no greater heritage than culture and no greater support than consultation.
Ali ibn Abi Talib
Fear only the will of God and you will have no cause to fear anyone else.
Ali ibn Abi Talib
