* When some blessings come to you, do not drive them away through thanklessness.

* Every person who is tempted to go astray, does not deserve punishment

* There is a tradition of the Holy Prophet "With the help of hair-dye turn old age into youth so that you do not resemble the Jews". When Imam Ali was asked to comment on this tradition, he said that in the early stage of Islam there were very few Muslims. The Holy Prophet advised them to look young and energetic and not to adopt the fashion of the Jews (priest) having long, white flowing beards. But the Muslims were not in minority then, theirs was a strong and powerful State, they could take up any style they liked.

* One, who rushes madly after inordinate desire, runs the risk of encountering destruction and death.

* Overlook and forgive the weaknesses of the generous people because if they fall down, Allah will help them.

* Failures are often the results of timidity and fears; disappointments are the results of bashfulness; hours of leisure pass away like summer-clouds, therefore, do not waste opportunity of doing well.
