Ali ibn Abi Talib
A man's worth depends upon the nobility of his aspirations.
Ali ibn Abi Talib

Ali ibn Abi Talib
Be afraid of a dignified man when he is hungry and a wicked man when his belly is full.
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

Ali ibn Abi Talib
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
How strange and foolish is man. He looses his health in gaining wealth. Then to regain health he wastes his wealth. He ruins is present while worrying about his future - but weeps in the future by recalling his past. He lives as though death shall never come to him - but dies in a way as if he were never born.
Ali ibn Abi Talib
Do not use the sharpness of your speech on your mother who taught you how to speak.
Ali ibn Abi Talib
The vision of the eye is limited the vision of the heart transcends all barriers of time and space.
Ali ibn Abi Talib
Fear only the will of God and you will have no cause to fear anyone else.
Ali ibn Abi Talib
He who guards his secrets retains control in his own hands
Ali ibn Abi Talib
Put aside your pride, Set down your arrogance, And remember your grave.
Ali ibn Abi Talib
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
There is no greater wealth than wisdom, no greater poverty than ignorance no greater heritage than culture and no greater support than consultation.
Ali ibn Abi Talib
It is better to listen to a wise enemy than to seek counsel from a foolish friend.
Ali ibn Abi Talib
