Ameer al-Momineen (a.s) said: “Nothing is better than being humble. No loneliness is more horrifying than being conceited. I am amazed at the haughty people. Earlier they were just a sperm, and soon in the future they will be a corpse.”
قال أمير المؤمنين (عليه السلام): لا حسب كالتواضع، ولا وحدة أوحش من العجب، وعجبا للمتكبر الذي كان بالأمس نطفة ويكون غدا جيفة.
