Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘People need good manners more than gold and silver.’
The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘He who seeks knowledge is as one who spends his day fasting and his night praying. Verily a chapter of knowledge that a manlearns is better for him than for him to have as much gold as a mountain and give it all away in the way of Allah.’
Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘Do not rejoice at wealth and luxury, nor dread poverty and ordeal; for verily gold is tested by the fire and the believer is tested by an ordeal.’
Mu`aammar b. Khallad said, ‘I heard Imam al-Rida (AS) say: “Alif, lam, mim. Do people imagine that they will be left off (on their own) saying: “We believe!” and they will not be tried”, and he then asked me, ‘What is trial?’ I said, ‘May my soul be sacrificed for you, what I know is that it is to be tested in religion.’ He said, ‘They [the believers] will be tried the way gold is tried’, he then said, ‘They will be purified the way gold is purified.’
Imam Ali (AS) with regards to Allah’s verse: “Under it there was a treasure belonging to them”, said, ‘that (the treasure) was a golden tablet upon which was written … : I wonder at those who see the world and the fluctuating states that people experience, how can they be satisfied with it?’
When learning to swim, an hour in the pool is more useful than a year poolside.
For every minute you are angry, you lose sixty seconds of happiness.

Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young. The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young.
He who angers you, conquers you.
Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.
When you judge another, you do not define them; you define yourself.
A mind is like a parachute. It doesn’t work if it isn’t open.
As I grow older, I pay less attention to what men say. I just watch what they do.

You cannot push any one up a ladder unless he be willing to climb a little himself.
No man will make a great leader who wants to do it all himself or get all the credit for doing it.
A minute of thought is greater than an hour of talk.
Be a first-rate version of yourself, not a second-rate version of someone else.
Ideas have a short shelf life. You must act on them before the expiration date.
People who use time wisely spend it on activities that advance their overall purpose in life.
As a leader, the first person I need to lead is me. The first person that I should try to change is me.
Success comes to those who have an entire mountain of gold that they continually mine, not those who find one nugget and try to live on it for fifty years.
You will never change your life until you change something you do daily.
Success is a full-time job.
Success is no different than any other skill. Duplicate the actions and mind-sets of successful people and you will create success for yourself.
Very successful people don’t seek comfort, they seek success and are willing to do what is most uncomfortable. But most of the world is seeking comfort and familiarity which are traps that cause you to settle for the mediocre. If you want to get to the next level of your business you’ve got to be comfortable with being uncomfortable.
No one’s going to come to your house and make your dreams come true.
What you have done is nothing compared to what you can do.
The ambitious are criticized by those that have given up.
