Hazrat Ali Ibn Abu-Talib A.S
A brother is like gold and a friend is like diamond. If gold cracks you can melt it and make it just like it was before. If a diamond cracks, it can never be like it was before.
— Hazrat Ali Ibn Abu-Talib A.S
A graceful refusal is better than a lengthy promise.
— Hazrat Ali Ibn Abu-Talib A.S
A wise man always has something to say, whereas a fool always needs to say something.
— Hazrat Ali Ibn Abu-Talib A.S
Beware! Abstain from shedding blood without a valid cause. There is nothing more harmful than this which brings about one’s ruin. The blood that is willfully shed shortens the life of a state. On the Day of Judgement it is this crime for which one will have to answer first. So, beware! Do not wish to build the strength of your state on blood for, it is this blood which ultimately weakens the state and passes it into other hands. Before me and my God no excuse for willful killing can be entertained.
— Hazrat Ali Ibn Abu-Talib A.S
Beware of speaking too much, for it increases mistakes and engenders boredom.
— Hazrat Ali Ibn Abu-Talib A.S
Courtesy costs nothing, but buys everything.
— Hazrat Ali Ibn Abu-Talib A.S
Develop in your heart the feeling of love for your people and let it be the source of kindliness and blessing to them. Do not behave with them like a barbarian, and do not appropriate to yourself that which belongs to them. Remember that the citizens of the state are of two categories. They are either your brethren in religion or your brethren in kind. They are subject to infirmities and liable to commit mistakes.
— Hazrat Ali Ibn Abu-Talib A.S
Dislike in yourself what you dislike in others.
— Hazrat Ali Ibn Abu-Talib A.S
Do not let your difficulties fill you with anxiety, after all it is only in the darkest nights that stars shine more brightly.
— Hazrat Ali Ibn Abu-Talib A.S
He who trusts the world, the world betrays him.
