Words of Imam Ali (a.s.)

Translated by Engineer Afsaneh Cooper

  

1. The worse friend is who encourages you to do sin against Allah
2. Do not disappoint whom you are his hope
3. If you want people remember you with good name, do not call people with bad name
4. Chastity and proud are superior to the world wealth
5. Avoid loan, as loan would make you liar and renege
6. The person whose words are plenty, is blamed
7. Three things ware out the soul, poverty, fear and sorrow
8. Whoever has less wisdom, his game and fun increase
9. Repay the deposit even though that belongs to the murderers of the children of the prophets.
10. The brave man’s promise is cash and instant
11. Keep your fame by not tasting your wealth
12. Do not show lack of relish to something until you come to know it
13. Never support a powerful person against a weak one
14. Do not hit a person to the ground whom the world has risen him
    
15. Do not talk badly with ignoble as he would dare against you.
