More quotes by Ali ibn Abi Talib

Ali ibn Abi Talib
Hide the good you do, and make known the good done to you.
Ali ibn Abi Talib
Dislike in yourself what you dislike in others.

Ali ibn Abi Talib
Do for this life as if you live forever, do for the afterlife as if you will die tomorrow.
Ali ibn Abi Talib
Thy lot or portion of life is seeking after thee therefore be at rest from seeking after it.
Ali ibn Abi Talib
Perfecting one's intellect causes one to speak less, and those words spoken will be adorned with wisdom.
Ali ibn Abi Talib
People are of two types, they are either your brothers in faith or your equals in humanity.
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
Stubbornness destroys good advice.
Ali ibn Abi Talib
Fear the sins that you commit in secret, because the Witness of those sins is the Judge Himself!
Ali ibn Abi Talib
