Imam Ali (AS) said, If magnanimity was not difficult to acquire and heavy to bear, the wicked and ignorant ones would not have left from it anything even for a single night, but its acquisition is difficult and its burden is heavy, so the wicked and ignorant turned away from it and the honourable and virtuous ones adopted it.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : لَوْ أنَّ المُرُوَّةَ لَمْ تَشْتَدَّ مَؤُنَتُها وَ يَثْقُلُ مَحْمِلُها ما تَرَكَ اللِّئامُ الأغْمارُ مِنْها مَبيتَ لَيْلَة وَ لكِنَّهَا اشْتَدَّتْ مَؤُنَتُها وَ ثَقُلَ مَحْمِلُها فَحادَ عَنْها اللِّئامُ الأغْمارُ وَ حَمَلَها الكِرامُ الأخْيارُ
