Imam Ali (AS) said, Indeed, with every drink of this world there is choking and with every food eaten in it there is blockage of the throat. No blessing is obtained from it except by separation from another [blessing], and a person does not come to a [new] day of his life except by leaving behind another for it, and no sign of him is left alive in it but that [another] sign of him passes away.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : إنَّ لِلدُّنيا مَعَ كُلِّ شَرْبَة شَرَقاً وَ مَعَ كُلِّ أكْلَة غَصَصاً لاتُنالُ مِنْها نِعْمَةٌ إلاّ بِفِراقِ اُخرى وَ لايَسْتَقْبِلُ فيها المَرْءُ يَوْماً مِنْ عُمْرِهِ إلاّ بِفِراق آخَرَ مِنْ أجَلِهِ وَ لا يَحْيى لَهُ فيها أثَرٌ إلاّ ماتَ لَهُ أثَرٌ
