More quotes by Ali ibn Abi Talib
Stubbornness destroys good advice.
Ali ibn Abi Talib
One who thinks and reflects develops his foresight and vision.
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
Riches without faith are the greatest poverty.
Ali ibn Abi Talib
Allah, the Exalted, gave the angels intellect without desires, He gave the animals desires without intellect, and He gave both to the sons of Adam. So a man whose intellect prevails over his desires is better than the angels, whilst a man whose desire prevails over his intellect is worse than the animals.
Ali ibn Abi Talib
The best companion and helper is admirable morals.
Ali ibn Abi Talib

Ali ibn Abi Talib

Ali ibn Abi Talib
Man comes from a drop of semen and leaves as a piece of dust. He doesn't know when he came and he doesn't know when he's leaving, yet he walks on the earth thinking he knows everything.
Ali ibn Abi Talib
Of all the follies the greatest is to love the world.
Ali ibn Abi Talib

There are so many highly esteemed ones who became miserable and humiliated just because of their bad temper and morals and humble people who have attained eminence and the highest honors because of good temper and morals.
Ali ibn Abi Talib
Had there not been five bad qualities, all the people would have been righteous. Contentment with ignorance love for worldly life miserliness inspite of much wealth ostentation in (good) deeds and pride in their own intelligence.
Ali ibn Abi Talib
Never make a decision in anger and never make a promise in happiness.
Ali ibn Abi Talib
The best revenge is to improve yourself.
Ali ibn Abi Talib
A wise man first thinks and then speaks and a fool speaks first and then thinks.

Ali ibn Abi Talib
