Some quotes of Syeddena Ali (May Allah be Pleased With Him

Fear God and you will have no cause to fear anyone.

Opportunity is swift of flight, but slow to return.
He who knows himself knows God.

Do not sell your conscience for anything but heaven.

The disease of the heart is worse than the disease of the body.

To fight against one's desires is the greatest of all fights.

The strongest among you is he who subdues himself.

Wealth and greed are the roots of all evil.

Riches without faith are the greatest poverty.

The learned lives although he dies.

Generosity hides shortcomings.

Desire is one's most inveterate enemy.

Those who walk on the surface of the earth shall one day be interred in it.

Every breath of man brings him nearer to death.

People are asleep as long as they live. They are awakened when they die.

A man's behaviour is the index of his mind

Courtesy costs nothing but buys everything

He who praises you murders you.

Honour your parents and your sons will honour you

He who purifies his heart from doubt is a believer.

It is better to die than to beg.

A wise enemy is better than a foolish friend

Speech is like a medicine, a small dose will cure but an excess will kill

He that has no courage has no religion.

His grief is long whose hope is short.

To assist the wrong is to oppress the right.

He who seeks to do justice with men, let him desire for them what he desires for himself

The greatest sin is the sin which the sinner considers to be ordinary

Contentment is an asset which is never exhausted.

He who indulges in jokes and loose talk loses a part of his wisdom.

Knowledge and practice are twins, and both go together for there is no knowledge without practice, and no practice without knowledge

When your power increases, decrease your desires accordingly

What the eye sees the heart preserves

He who knows to keep his secret, knows the way to success.

When hopes are frustrated despair becomes the way of life

Unbelievers are like bats who can see in the dark, but who are blinded by daylight and [so] cannot see
