“To a well-born man, honour is dearer than gold. A well-born man should use his gold to protect his body, his body to protect his soul, his soul to protect his honour, and his honour to defend his religion. But he must never sacrifice his religion in defense of anything whatsoever.” WisdomInspirationTruthMotivationReligionSpiritualityIslamIslamicMoralsMuslim Author:Abu Muhammad Ali ibn Hazm
“Remember that it is harder to tame the self than to tame wild beasts. In fact, when wild beasts are shut inside cages ordered for them by kings, they cannot harm you. But the self, even if it were put in a prison, could not be guaranteed to do you no harm.” WisdomInspirationTruthReligionSpiritualityIslamIslamicMuslimIbn Hazm Author:Abu Muhammad Ali ibn Hazm
“If you take pride in your wealth, that is the worst degree of pride. Think of all the vile and debauched men who are richer than you and do not take pride in something in which they outdo you. You should realize that it is stupid to take pride in possessions; riches are burdens which bring no benefit until you dispose of them and spend them according to the law. Wealth is also ephemeral and fleeing. It can escape, and you can find it again anywhere, perhaps in someone else’s hands, perhaps in the hands of your enemy. To take pride in your wealth is stupid, to put your trust in good fortune is a trap and a weakness.” LifeWisdomTruthReligionSpiritualityMoneyIslamIslamicMuslimIbn Hazm Author:Abu Muhammad Ali ibn Hazm
