Amirul Momineen (A.S) said: the most helpless of all men is he who cannot find a few brothers during his age, but still more helpless is he who finds such a brother but loses him.

Amirul Momineen (A.S) said: Keep walking in your sickness till you can. Amirul Momineen (A.S) said: Fear! Fear!
By Allah, He has hidden your sins so much so as He has forgiven. Amirul Momineen (A.S) said: the best riches is abandonment of desires.

Amirul Momineen (A.S) said to a companion during his sickness: Allah may make your illness a means for writing off your sins, because there is no reward for sickness but it erases sins and makes them fall like (dried) leaves: Reward lies in saying by tongue and doing something with hands and feet. Certainly Allah, the Glorified admits into Paradise by virtue of truthfulness of intention and chastity of heart, whomever He wishes from among His people.
Amirul Momineen (A.S) said: Victory is by determination; determination is by revolving of thoughts and thoughts are formed by guarding secrets.
