Pearl of Wisdom
'Patience comes in the form of either persevering in the face of an affliction, or enduring an act of obedience, or restraining ones lf against an act of disobedience. And this third type is of a higher calibre than the first two.'
Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib [as] Shark Nahj al-Balagha li Ibn Abi al- Hadid, v. 1, p. 319

Sermon 116 Rebuking Misers
You spend no wealth in the cause of Him Who gave it, nor do you risk your lives for the sake of Him Who created them. You enjoy honour through Allah among His creatures, but you do not honour Allah among His creatures. You should derive lessons from your occupying the places of those who were before you and from the departure of your nearest brothers.
