Sayings Of Imam Ali (as)
~ We; Ahlay Baith, hold such central and balancing position in religion that those who are deficient in understanding and acting upon its principles will have to come to us for improvement, and those who are over doing have got to learn moderation from us.
~ Knowledge and wisdom are really properties of a faithful Muslims, though lost to him. Get them back, though you may have to get them from apostate.
~ Acquire wisdom and truth from whomever you can, because even an apostate can have them, but unless they are passed over to a faithful Muslim and become part of wisdom and truth that he possesses, they have a confused existence in the minds of apostate.
~ Value of each man depends upon the art and skill which he has attained.
~ Surrender to and acceptance of God are the best companions ; wisdom is noblest heritage ; theoretical and practical knowledge are best marks of distinction ; deep thinking will present the clearest picture of every problem.
~ When this world favours anybody it lends him qualifications, attributes and surpassing merits of others; and when it turns it face away from him, it snatches away even his own excellences and fame.
~ Treat people in such a way and live amongst them in such a manner that if you die they weep over you; alive they crave for your company.
~ A wiseman's mind is the safest custody of secrets ; an open and pleasant countenance gets more friends, patience and forbearance will hide and cover many defects.
~ If you get an opportunity and power over your enemy then, in thankfulness to God for this, forgive him.
~ When few blessings comes your way , do not drive them away through thanklessness.
