Imam Ali (AS) said, Indeed fire is not diminished by what is taken from it but is extinguished when it does not find firewood; similarly, knowledge is not depleted by being acquired but the miserliness of those who possess it is the cause of its absence.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : إنَّ النّارَ لايَنْقُصُها ما أُخِذَ مِنْهُ وَ لكِنْ يُخْمِدُها أنْ لاتَجِدَ حَطَباً وَكَذلِكَ العِلْمُ لايُفْنيهِ الاِقتِباسُ لكِنْ بُخْلُ الحامِلِينَ لَهُ سَبَبُ عَدَمِهِ
