" I looked at all friends,
and did not find a better friend than safeguarding the tongue.

I thought about all the dresses,
but did not find a better dress than piety.

I thought about all sort of wealth,
but did not find a better wealth than contentment in a little.

I thought of all sorts of good deeds,
but did not find a better deed than offering good advice.

I looked at all types of sustenance,
but did not find a better sustenance than patience. "


Umar ibn al-khattab (r.a)
