Imam Ali (AS) said, The best intelligence is for a person to know his self, for the one who knows his self becomes wise and the one who fails to know it goes astray.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : أفْضَلُ العَقْلِ مَعْرِفَةُ الإنْسانِ نَفْسَهُ فَمَنْ عَرَفَ نَفْسَهُ عَقَلَ وَ مَنْ جَهِلَها ضَلَّ
