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
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

Ali ibn Abi Talib
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
Loving one another is half of wisdom.
Ali ibn Abi Talib
