More quotes by Ali al-Rida
Wisdom and intellect is every man's friend, ignorance and illiteracy are his enemies.
A Muslim will never get tired and bored of educating himself throughout his life.
The worst of men is he who stops his contributions to charity, eats by himself, and whips his slave.

Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind.
To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.
Not for the body, but for the heart; companion and company are needed.
Love seldom haunts the breast where learning lies,
And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
