" عَنْ عَلِىٍّ قَالَ: لَيْسَ حُسْنُ الْجِوَارِ كَفَّ الأَذَى وَلَكِنِ الصَّبْرُ عَلَى الأذَى. وقالَ: خَيْرُ الْمَال مَا وَقَى الْعِرْضَ. وَقَالَ: لكُلِّ شئ آفَةٌ وآفَةُ الْعِلْمِ النِّسْيانُ وَآفَةُ الْعِبادَةِ الرِّياءُ، وآفَةُ اللُّبِّ الْعُجْبُ، وآفَةُ النَّجابَة الْكِبْرُ، وآفَةُ الظَّرْف الصَّلَفُ؛ وآفَةُ الْجُودِ السَّرَفُ، وآفَةُ الْحَيَاءِ الضَّعْفُ، وآفَةُ الْحِلْمِ الذُّلُّ، وآفَةُ الْجَلَدِ الْفُحْشُ ".

" From 'Ali, he said: Good neighbourliness is not merely restraining harm, but patience over harm. He also said: The best wealth is that which protects one's honour. He also said: Everything has a blight. The blight of knowledge is forgetting, the blight of worship is showing off, the blight of intellect is self-admiration, the blight of nobility is arrogance, the blight of wit is boastfulness, the blight of generosity is extravagance, the blight of modesty is weakness, the blight of forbearance is humiliation, and the blight of endurance is obscenity."
