Imam Ali (as): Imam Ali (AS) said to a man soliciting advice from him, 'Do not be like the one who... regards the sins of others as big but considers the same things for himself as small; if he does something in obedience to Allah he considers it much but if others do the same he considers it small; he, therefore, rebukes others but flatters himself; entertainment in the company of the wealthy is dearer to him than remembrance (of Allah) with the poor.'
