Ali ibn Abi Talib
How strange and foolish is man. He looses his health in gaining wealth. Then to regain health he wastes his wealth.

Ali ibn Abi Talib

Ali ibn Abi Talib

Ali ibn Abi Talib

Many a spoken word is more piercing than an attack.
Ali ibn Abi Talib
A hopeless man sees difficulties in every chance, but a hopeful person sees chances in every difficulty.
Ali ibn Abi Talib
