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