Imam Ali (AS) said, The most worthy of favour among the people is one who is patient when he is put off, excuses when he is denied and shows gratitude when he is given.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : أَوْلَى النّاسِ بِالاِصْطِناعِ مَنْ إذا مُطِلَ صَبَرَ وَ إذا مُنِعَ عَذَرَ وَ إذا أُعْطِيَ شَكَرَ
