رسول الله (صلی الله علیه و آله):

The Prophet Muhammad (S):

A strong person is not someone who overcomes others, rather a strong person is someone who overcomes his own self.

لَا قُوَّةَ كَغَلَبَةِ الْهَوَى‏ … ِ وَ لَا عَدْلَ كَالْإِنْصَافِ وَ لَا تَعَدِّيَ كَالْجَوْرِ وَ لَا جَوْرَ كَمُوَافَقَةِ الْهَوَى‏ .

:

There is no strength like that of one who can overcome his base desires... there is no justice like fairness, no transgression like injustice, and no injustice like yielding to one's base desires.

الإمام علي (عليه السَّلام):

أَلَا وَ إِنَّ إِمَامَكُمْ قَدِ اِكْتَفَى مِنْ دُنْيَاهُ بِطِمْرَيْهِ وَ مِنْ طُعْمِهِ بِقُرْصَيْهِ .أَلَا وَ إِنَّكُمْ لاَ تَقْدِرُونَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ وَ لَكِنْ أَعِينُونِي بِوَرَعٍ وَ اِجْتِهَادٍ وَ عِفَّةٍ وَ سَدَادٍ . فَوَ اللَّهِ مَا كَنَزْتُ مِنْ دُنْيَاكُمْ تِبْراً وَ لاَ اِدَّخَرْتُ مِنْ غَنَائِمِهَا وَفْراً وَ لاَ أَعْدَدْتُ لِبَالِي ثَوْبِي طِمْراً

Imam Ali (as):

Realize that your Imam has contented himself with two shabby pieces of clothes out of the (comforts of the) world and two loaves of bread for his meal. Certainly, you cannot live like that but at least assist me with piety, exertion, chastity and uprightness, because, by Allah, I have not treasured any gold from your world nor have I amassed plentiful wealth.
