الإمام علي (عليه السَّلام):

وَ إِنْ عَقَدْتَ بَيْنَكَ وَ بَيْنَ [عَدُوٍّ لَكَ‏] عَدُوِّكَ عُقْدَةً أَوْ أَلْبَسْتَهُ مِنْكَ ذِمَّةً فَحُطْ عَهْدَكَ بِالْوَفَاءِ وَ ارْعَ ذِمَّتَكَ بِالْأَمَانَةِ وَ اجْعَلْ نَفْسَكَ جُنَّةً دُونَ مَا أَعْطَيْت .‏

Imam Ali (as):

And if you make a covenant between yourself and your enemy or give him a surety [against life or property], then stand by your pact with loyalty and observe your liability with trustworthiness and make yourself the shield for your word

Although he is most known for his literary expertise, he was also an expert of jurisprudence and exegesis of the Quran. His most famous work is Nahj al-Balagha, a collection of Imam Ali's (a) sayings and letters. He founded a school named Dar al-'Ilm ( دار العلم, literally "House of knowledge") in which he trained many students, some of whom later became prominent scholars.
