Imam Ali (AS) said, Verily the most honourable of all people is one who loses hope [in others], espouses contentment and piety and is devoid of greed and covetousness, for indeed covetousness and greed are a ready indigence and verily loss of hope [in others] and contentment are a manifest affluence.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : إنَّ أكْرَمَ النّاسِ مَنِ اقْتَنَى الْيَأْسَ وَ لَزِمَ القُنُوعَ وَ الوَرَعَ وَ بَرِيَ مِنَ الحِرْصِ وَ الطَّمَعِ فَإنَّ الطَّمَعَ وَ الحِرْصَ اَلْفَقْرُ الحاضِرُ وَ إنَّ الْيَأسَ وَ القَناعَةَ الغِنىَ الظّاهِرُ
