O youth.......be assured that knowledge alone does not strengthen the hand......Though a man read a hundred thousand scientific questions and understood them or learned them, but did not work with them — -They do not benefit him except by working.....Knowledge is the tree, and working is its fruit; and though you studied a hundred years and assembled a thousand books, you would not be prepared for the mercy of Allah the Exalted except by working.

الصبي أمانة عند واليه، وقلبه الطاهر جوهرة ساذجة خالية من كل نقش وصورة، وهو قابل لكل ما ينقش عليه ومائل إلى كل ما يُمَالُ إليه.

Insomnia of the eyes for other than Your sake is futile,
And their weeping for other than Your loss is wasteful.
