Imam Ali (AS) said, 'He who places his trust in time has gone mad.

Imam Ali (AS) said, 'Whoever trusts time is betrayed by it, and whoever holds it in high esteem is abased by it.

Imam Ali (AS) said, 'Whoever trusts time is betrayed by it, whoever attaches great importance to it is abased by it, whoever is angry with time, it spites him even more, and whoever takes refuge with time is forsaken by it.

Imam Ali (AS) said, 'Time betrays the one who believes he possesses time, and it does not seek to please the one who blames it.

Imam Ali (AS) said, 'Whoever preoccupies himself with time is occupied by it in turn.
