Additional quotes by Alī ibn Abī Ṭālib

Time wears out bodies, renews hopes, brings death nearer and takes away aspirations. Whoever gets anything from the world lives in anxiety for holding it and whoever loses anything passes his days grieving over the loss.

Hearts of people are like wild beasts. They attach themselves to those who love and train them.

Wealth is the fountain head of passions.
