Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 25684a
"لا مَال أَعْوَدُ مِنَ الْعَقْلِ، وَلا فَقْر أشَدُّ مِنَ الْجَهْلِ، وَلا وحْدَةَ أَشدُّ من العُجْبِ، وَلا مُظَاهَرَةَ أَوْثَقُ مِنَ الْمُشَاوَرِة، وَلا عَقْلَ كالتَّدْبِيرِ، ولا حَسَبَ كَحُسْنِ الْخُلُقِ، وَلا وَرَعَ كالْكَفِّ، وَلا عبَادة كالتَّفكُّرِ، وآفَةُ الْحَدِيثِ الْكَذِبُ، وآفَةُ الجَمَال البَغْي، وآفَةُ الشَّجَاعَةِ الْفَخْرُ".

Machine translation, not reviewed
"There is no wealth more beneficial than intellect, no poverty more severe than ignorance, no loneliness more severe than self-admiration, no support more reliable than consultation, no intellect like good management, no lineage like good character, no piety like restraint, and no worship like contemplation. The blight of speech is lying, the blight of beauty is transgression, and the blight of courage is boasting."
