Ali ibn Abi Talib
Always consider your intellect to be lacking otherwise too much faith in it surely leads to error.
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 understands humanity seeks solitude
Ali ibn Abi Talib

Ali ibn Abi Talib
A man's behavior is the index of the man, and his discourse is the index of his understanding.
Ali ibn Abi Talib
Like your body your mind also gets tired so refresh it by wise sayings.
Ali ibn Abi Talib
Contentment is a wealth that is never exhausted
Ali ibn Abi Talib
During civil disturbance adopt such an attitude that people do not attach any importance to you - they neither burden you with complicated affairs, nor try to derive any advantage out of you.
Ali ibn Abi Talib
Lead such a life, that, when you die, the people may mourn you, and while you are alive they long for your company.
Ali ibn Abi Talib
There is no knowledge and science like pondering and thought and there is no prosperity and advancement like knowledge and science.
Ali ibn Abi Talib
