Some of the #sages said: “He who is #cautious of the #world will gain from it, and he whom the world feels #secure with will be struck by it.” And some of the #wise said: “The #fortunate one is he who learns from his #past and prepares for himself; while the #wretched one is he who gathers for others and withholds from himself.” (From *Adab al-Dunya wa al-Din* by #alMawardi)
