1. The hardest jihad is the jihad against passion.

    Nothing ennobles a person but piety.

  2. The virtues of a person of excellence are well known:

    bestowing kindness and withholding harm.

  3. All pleasantries become tiresome,

    and long familiarity breeds estrangement.

  4. Every novelty holds a delight,

    and every heirloom is swift to decay.

  5. Nothing exists but has its bane,

    and nothing exists but has its end.

  6. Wealth is not possessions held in the hand;

    rather, richness of spirit is all true wealth.

  7. Indeed, we dwell amid evident works

    that point to a Maker who is unseen.

Sol 5.6
