hadith 10220
Imam Ali (AS) said, People are like writings on a scroll [of parchment], whenever part of it is rolled up, another part of it is unrolled.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : اَلنّاسُ كَصُوَر فِي الصَّحِيفَةِ (صَحيفَة) كُلَّما طُوِيَ بَعْضُها نُشِرَ بَعْضُها

hadith 10223
Imam Ali (AS) said, People are of three types: the godly scholar, the student who is on the path of salvation and the uncultivated rabble who run after every caller, neither seeking light from the effulgence of knowledge nor taking recourse to any strong support.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : اَلنّاسُ ثَلاثَةٌ: فَعالِمٌ رَبّانيٌّ وَ مُتَعَلِّمٌ عَلى سَبِيلِ نَجاة وَ هِمَجٌ رِعاعٌ أتْباعُ كُلِّ ناعِق لَمْ يَسْتَضِيْئُوا بِنُورِ العِلْمِ وَ لَمْ يَلْجَئُوا إلى رُكْن وَثيق

hadith 10224
Imam Ali (AS) said, People are like trees, their drink is one but their fruits are different.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : اَلنّاسُ كَالشَّجَرِ شَرابُهُ واحِدٌ وَ ثَمَرُهُ مُخْتَلِفٌ

hadith 10225
Imam Ali (AS) said, People are made deficient and flawed, except those whom Allah, the Glorified, protects. The questioner among them aims to embarrass and confuse while the answerer creates trouble. It is not long until the one who has the best views among them is turned away from his good opinion by pleasure or displeasure, and at any moment the most strong-willed among them will get affected by a single glance or transformed by a single expression.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : اَلنّاسُ مَنْقُوصُونَ مَدْخُولُونَ إلاّ مَنْ عَصَمَ اللّهُ سُبْحانَهُ سائِلُهُمْ مُتَعَنِّتٌ وَ مُجيبُهُمْ مُتَكَلِّفٌ يَكادُ أفْضَلُهُمْ رَأْياً أنْ يَرُدَّهُ عَنْ فَضْلِ رَأيِهِ الرِّضى وَالسَّخَطُ وَ يَكادُ أصْلَبُهُمْ عُوداً تَنْكَأُهُ اللَّحظَةُ وَ تَسْتَحِيلُهُ الكَلِمَةُ الْواحِدَةُ

Imam Ali (AS) said, Verily people are only either scholars or seekers of knowledge, all others are rabble.
