Imam Ali (AS) said, The best portion of a person is his intellect, if he gets humiliated it restores his honour, if he falls it raises him, if he goes astray it guides him and if he talks it directs him.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : أفْضَلُ حَظِّ الرَّجُلِ عَقْلُهُ إنْ ذَلَّ أعَزَّهُ وَ إنْ سَقَطَ رَفَعَهُ وَ إنْ ضَلَّ أرْشَدَهُ وَإنْ تَكَلَّمَ سَدَّدَهُ
