The Student

Imam Ali (AS) said, If you are not an articulating scholar then be an attentive listener.

Imam Ali (AS) said, The student must discipline himself in his quest for knowledge and must neither become bored of his studies nor overestimate what he already knows.

Imam Ali (AS) said, One who learns becomes knowledgeable.

Imam Ali (AS) said, One who does not learn does not become knowledgeable.

Imam Ali (AS) said, One who gains knowledge so that he can act upon it is not distressed by its dullness.

Imam Ali (AS) said, One who does not learn in his young age, does not progress in his old age.

Imam Ali (AS) said, One who does not bear the hardships of gaining knowledge (or education) remains in the abject ignorance.

Imam Ali (AS) said, One who does not discipline himself (or spend his life) in acquiring knowledge cannot gain great successes.

Imam Ali (AS) said, The one who does not know must never be too proud to learn.

Imam Ali (AS) said, Do not speak to the ignorant ones about that which they do not know such that they belie you, for indeed your knowledge has a right over you and its right is that you bestow it to those who are deserving of it and deny it to those who are not deserving of it.

Imam Ali (AS) said, One who is haughty does not learn.
