الإمام علي (عليه السَّلام):

مَن نَصَبَ نَفسَهُ لِلنّاسِ إماما فعَلَيهِ أن ‏يَبدَأ بِتَعليمِ نَفسِهِ قَبلَ تَعليمِ غَيرِهِ، وَليَكُن تَأديبُهُ بِسيرَتِهِ قَبلَ تَأديبِهِ بِلِسانِهِ، ومُعَلِّمُ نَفسِهِ ومُؤَدِّبُها أحَقُّ بِالإجلالِ مِن مُعَلِّمِ النّاسِ ومُؤَدِّبِهِم.

Imam Ali (as):

One who appoints himself as a leader of the people must first begin by educating himself before educating others; he must discipline through his own behaviour, before disciplining with his tongue. And The one who teaches and disciplines himself is more worthy of esteem than the one who teaches and disciplines people.
