‎وَ قَالَ (عليه السلام) أَزْرَى بِنَفْسِهِ مَنِ اسْتَشْعَرَ الطَّمَعَ
2. Amir al-mu’minin, peace be upon him, said: He who adopts greed as a habit devalues himself;
‎وَ رَضِيَ بِالذُّلِّ مَنْ كَشَفَ عَنْ ضُرِّهِ
he who discloses his hardship agrees to humiliation;
‎وَ هَانَتْ عَلَيْهِ نَفْسُهُ مَنْ أَمَّرَ عَلَيْهَا لِسَانَهُ
and he who allows his tongue to overpower his soul debases the soul.
