Imam Ali (AS) said, What has the son of Adam to do with conceit? His beginning is foul semen and his end is a rotting corpse, and in between these he is a carrier of waste products.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : ما لابْنِ آدَمَ وَ العُجْبِ وَ أوَّلُهُ نُطْفَةٌ مَذِرَةٌ وَ آخِرُهُ جيفَةٌ قَذِرَةٌ وَ هُوَ بَيْنَ ذلِكَ يَحْمِلُ العَذَرَةَ
