Pearl of Wisdom
'Verily the man of intellect never talks to one whom he fears will belie him, nor asks of one whom he fears will deny him, nor promises that which he is not able to fulfil, nor hopes for that which will dash his hopes, nor attempts to advance towards that which he fears he will be incapable of reaching.'
Imam Musa ibn Jafar al-Kadhim [as] Tuhaf al-'Uqul, p. 390
