الإمام علي (عليه السَّلام):
لا تَكُن مِمَّن يَرجو الآخِرَةَ بِغَيرِالعَمَلِ ... يُحِبُّ الصّالِحينَ ولا يَعمَلُ عَمَلَهُم، ويُبغِضُ المُذنِبينَ وهُوَ أحَدُهُم ... يَخافُ عَلى غَيرِهِ بِأدنى مِن ذَنبِهِ، ويَرجو لِنَفسِهِ بِأكثَرَ مِن‏ عَمَلِهِ ... يُقَصِّرُ إذا عَمِلَ، ويُبالِغُ إذا سَألَ ... فهُوَ بِالقَولِ مُدِلٌّ، ومِنَ العَمَلِ مُقِلٌّ!

Do not be among those who hope for the Hereafter without acting … he admires the righteous people and yet he does not act like them, and despises the sinners whilst he is one of them … he fears for others [the punishment of their] sins that are so little compared to his own sins, and for himself hopes for greater [reward] than his actions deserve … When he acts he falls short of the action, and when he asks something, he exaggerates … so he is presumptuous in his speech though performing little action.
