الإمام علي (عليه السَّلام):
إنّ الزاهِدينَ في الدنيا تَبكِي قلُوبُهُم و إن ضَحِكُوا، و يَشتَدَّ حُزنُهُم و إن فَرِحُوا، و يَكثُرُ مَقتُهُم أنفُسَهُم، و إنِ اغتَبَطُوا بما رُزِقُوا.

Those who restrain themselves from worldly pleasures are such that their hearts are weeping though outwardly they may laugh, they experience great sorrow though they display joy, and they are filled with self-contempt though they rejoice at all that they have been bestowed.
