Ameer al-Momineen (a.s) said: “The chest of the intelligent is his box of secrets. Nothing makes you more self-sufficient than intelligence. Nothing makes you more poor than ignorance. No inheritance is better than politeness. Whenever you hear some news, think about it. Analyze it rather than narrating it, since there are many who narrate but there are only a few who think. No wealth is more stable than intelligence, and no intelligence is better than management. An intelligent person should be a model in improving his living conditions, considering his Hereafter, and seeking pleasures that are not forbidden. God Has lent you the intellect and He will one day take it back.”
قال أمير المؤمنين (عليه السلام): صدر العاقل صندوق سره، ولا غنى كالعقل ولا فقر كالجهل ولا ميراث كالأدب، اعقلوا الخبر إذا سمعتموه، عقل رعاية لا عقل رواية، فإن رواة العلم كثير ورعاته قليل، لا مال أعود من العقل ولا عقل كالتدبير، وليس للعاقل أن يكون شاخصا إلا في ثلاث: مرمة لمعاش، أو خطوة في معاد، أو لذة في غير محرم، ما استودع الله امرأ عقلا إلا استنقذه به يوما ما.
