The Qur’an guides you to the recognition of your illnesses, and to their remedies. Your illness are your sins, and your medicine is seeking Allah’s Forgiveness."
-Qatadah
Fear more the sin when you are out of sight, it is where your witness is also your judge.
- Ali (RA)
Submission to Allah's (God's) Will is the best companion; wisdom is the noblest heritage; theoretical and practical knowledge are the best signs of distinction; deep thinking will present the clearest picture of every problem.

Worry is like a rocking chair--gives you something to do, but doesn't get you anywhere.
-Uknown
Wealth is temporary and will perish - good deeds and the resulting rewards are eternal. Love of wealth is an unhealthy burden, whereas love for good deeds is healthy. Wealth can buy glasses, but not sight; wealth can buy books, but not knowledge; wealth can buy medicine, but not health.
-Uknown
All humans are dead except those who have knowledge;
and all those who have knowledge are asleep, except those who do good deeds;

and those who are sincere are always in a state of worry
-Imam Shaf'i (May Allah elevate his Rank)
Doing justice between two people is charity; and asisting a man upon his beast, and lifting his baggage is charity; and pure, comforting words are charity; and answering a questioner with mildness, is charity; and removing that which is an inconvenience to wayfarers, such as thorns and stones, is a charity.
-[There is a Hadith similar to this]
Your smiling in your brother's face is charity; and your exhorting man to virtuous deeds is charity; and your prohibiting the forbidden is charity; and your showing men the road, in the land in which they lose it, is charity; and your assisting the blind is charity.
- Prophet Mohammed (S.A.W)
My religion is like clouds dropping much rain; some of them falling on pure, favorable soil, cause grass to grow; some of them fall in hollows from which mankind are benefited, some fall on high lands from which benefit is not derived; then the two first are like the persons acquainted with the religion of God and instructing others; and the last like the person not regarding it nor accepting the right path.
- Prophet Mohammed (S.A.W)
Renewing peace between two aggrieved parties surpasses ritual praying, fasting, and almsgiving.

or for the peace of your own soul

and save your heart from the darkness of hate.
