Image
No one has ever suffered from his people as I have.
Ali ibn Abi Talib
Image
If you find that somebody is not grateful for all that you have done for him, then do not get disappointed because often you will find that someone else feels under your obligation though you have done nothing for him and thus your good deeds will be compensated, and Allah will reward you for your goodness.
Ali ibn Abi Talib
Image
Courtesy costs nothing, but buys everything.
Ali ibn Abi Talib
Image
Perfecting one's intellect causes one to speak less, and those words spoken will be adorned with wisdom.
Ali ibn Abi Talib
Image
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
Image
The outcome of fear is disappointment and shyness is frustration.
Ali ibn Abi Talib
Image
Hate no one, no matter how much they've wronged you. Live humbly, no matter how wealthy you become. Think positively, no matter how hard life is. Give much, even if you've been given little. Keep in touch with the ones who have forgotten you, and forgive who has wronged you, and do not stop praying for the best for those you love.
Ali ibn Abi Talib
Image
To maintain nice relation with the people is half of intelligence, nice questioning is half of knowledge, and nice domestic arrangements is half of the management of livelihood.
Ali ibn Abi Talib
Image
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
Image
Life consists of two days: one for you and one against you, so when it's for you don't be proud or reckless, and when it's against you be patient, for both days are test for you
Ali ibn Abi Talib
Image
Do not raise your children the way your parents raised you they were born for a different time.
Ali ibn Abi Talib
Image
Hide the good you do, and make known the good done to you.
Ali ibn Abi Talib
Image
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
Image
There is no rest for the person who has envy, and there is no love for the person who has bad manners.
Ali ibn Abi Talib
Image
To fight against one's desires is the greatest of all fights.
Ali ibn Abi Talib
Image
The best revenge is to improve yourself.
Ali ibn Abi Talib
Image
The relation of patience to iman is like the relation of the head to the body. If the head is chopped off, the body becomes useless. Then he raised his voice and said: Certainly, the one who has no patience has no iman, and patience is like a riding-beast that nevers gets tired
Ali ibn Abi Talib
Image
I will be patient till even patience tires of my patience.
Ali ibn Abi Talib
Image
To make one good action succeed another, is the perfection of goodness.
Ali ibn Abi Talib

Never make a decision in anger and never make a promise in happiness.
Ali ibn Abi Talib
