الإمام علي (عليه السَّلام):

فَتَعَصَّبُوا لِخِلَالِ الْحَمْدِ مِنَ الْحِفْظِ لِلْجِوَارِ وَ الْوَفَاءِ بِالذِّمَامِ وَ الطَّاعَةِ لِلْبِرِّ وَ الْمَعْصِيَةِ لِلْكِبْرِ وَ الْأَخْذِ بِالْفَضْلِ وَ الْكَفِّ عَنِ الْبَغْيِ ... وَ الْإِنْصَافِ لِلْخَلْقِ وَ الْكَظْمِ لِلْغَيْظ وَ اجْتِنَابِ الْفَسَادِ فِي الْأَرْض .‏

Imam Ali (as):

If you absolutely must be partisans to a cause, then let your partisanship be for virtuous qualities such as protection of the neighbor, fulfillment of agreements, obedience to the virtuous, opposition to the haughty, generosity towards others, abstention from rebellion... being just to people, suppressing anger and keeping away from causing corruption on the earth.
