Pearl of Wisdom
'Commit a tyrant to oath whenever you want his oath in a way that it is devoid of the power and strength of Allah, for verily if he falsely takes oath by it, his Oath-Taking chastisement will be hastened, and if he takes oath by Allah whom there is no god but He, it will not be hastened because he has professed the unity of Allah, the all-High.?
Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib [as] Nahj al-Balagha, Saying 253

Sermon 75 About preaching and counselling
Allah may bless him who listens to a point of wisdom and retains it, when he is invited to the right path he approaches it, he follows a leader (by catching his waist band) and finds salvation, keeps Allah before his eyes and fears his sins, performs actions sincerely and acts virtuously, earns treasure of heavenly rewards, avoids vice, aims at (good) objectives and reaps recompense, faces his desires and rejects (fake) hopes, makes endurance the means to his salvation and piety the provision for his death, rides on the path of honour and sticks to the highway of truth, makes good use of his time and hastens towards the end and takes with him the provision of (good) actions.
