The mighty among them eat the meek and the big among them crush the small. Some are like tied cattle and some are like untied cattle that have lost their wits and are running in every direction.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : إنَّما أهْلُ الدُّنْيا كِلابٌ عاوِيَةٌ وَ سِباعٌ ضارِيَةٌ يُهَرُّ بَعْضُها بَعْضاً وَ يَأكُلُ عَزيزُها ذَليلَها وَ يَقْهَرُ كَبيرُها صَغيرَها نَعَمٌ مُعَقَّلَةٌ وَ أُخرى مُهْمَلَةٌ قَدْ أضَلَّتْ عُقُولَها وَ رَكِبَتْ مَجْهُولَها
