Pearl of Wisdom

'What is the matter with man that he is so given to self-admiration when his origin was but a putrid droplet, and his end is as a filthy corpse, and between these states he is but a vessel for excrement?!'

Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib [as]

Ghurdr al-Hikam, no. 9666

Sermon 14 This also is in condemnation of the people of Basrah
