Wise Islamic Sayings
What do you guys think of this, Do you find it useful?
This person whose sayings are below is known as Hazrat Ali. He was a Islamic Philosopher and leader. He was of the same era as Muhammed.
1) Contentment is the capital which will never diminish
2) If you want to remove evil from the minds of others then first give up evil intentions yourself.
3) Be afraid of a gentleman when he is hungry, and of a mean person when his stomach is full.
4) One who imagines himself to be all-knowing will surely suffer on account of his ignorance.
5) Like your body your mind also gets tired so refresh it by wise sayings.
6) That knowledge which remains only on your tongue is very superficial. The intrinsic value of knowledge is that you act upon it.
7) Aid (from Allah) is in proportion to the trouble.
To keep silent when you can say something wise and useful is as bad as keeping on propagating foolish and unwise thoughts
9) It is wiser to abstain then to repent.
10) Greed is permanent slavery.
Thanks in advance for you answers.
As far as sounding like fortune cookies, that's probably the problem of translation, since Hazrat Ali certainly wasn't writing in English.
He sounds like a wise man; the sayings are very like those in the book of Proverbs. Number 10 is particularly salient for today's Western society.
