Imam Ali (AS) said, Verily this world wears out the bodies, renews hopes, brings death near and takes aspirations far away. Every time its inhabitant becomes contented and pleased with it, it sends him back to adversity.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : إنَّ الدُّنْيا تُخلِقُ الأبْدانَ وَ تُجَدِّدُ الآمالَ وَ تُقَرِّبُ المَنِيَّةَ وَ تُباعِدُ الأُمْنِيَّةَ كُلَّمَا اطْمَئَنَّ صاحِبُها مِنْها إلى سُرور أشْخَصَتْهُ مِنْها إلى مَحْذُور
