inspiring quote from Umar bin Khattab part 3

Desire is never achieved without fear, nor manners and etiquette without formality, or happiness without peace or wealth without gifts or poverty without contentment, or dignity without politeness or Jihad (holy war) without diving guidance and assistance.
    Respite before preoccupation and old age before death is a blessing of life.
    Honour and dignity in this World is measured by wealth while honour and dignity in the Hereafter is measured by good deeds.
    Save yourself from the Fires of Hell even if it means by doing a favour with half a date (fruit). If this too is not possible then with sweet words.
    After Iman (Faith), there is no greater gift than a pious wife.
    Not to postpone is strength in action.
    Whosoever shows you your faults, he is your friend. Those that pay you lip service in praise are your executioners.
    One who guards his secrets is surely safe.
    The person who constantly discloses my faults to me is dearest to me.
    Fear that person who you dislike.
    When Sayyiduna 'Umar Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho camped on the outskirts of Jerusalem to conquer Bait al-Maqdas, the Christian Crusaders were terrified of his presence and requested a meeting with him before handing over the keys of the city. The Crusaders met him whilst he wore a patched garb. They asked him the reason as to why his name generated such immense awe and fear that captured the hearts of his enemies. He replied; “Your kings taught you to love the World (Duniyah) and its wealth and our Prophet Sallallaho Alaihi wa Sallam taught us to fear ALLAH SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala and love death.
    He is an intelligent person who can translate his actions into good.
    Never put off for tomorrow what you can do today.
    There is never a chance of pain in the neck if one does not raise his head too high in the air.
    Do not forget about yourself whilst being concerned for others.
    To stop sinning is easier than to bear the burden of seeking repentance.
    Remove your gaze from the splendor of the World. Do not let the love of this World enter your heart. Beware! The love of this World does not perhaps destroy you, just as it had destroyed previous nations.
    Victory is gained through strategy and trust in ALLAH SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala, not by wishful thinking.
    The most intelligent amongst you is he who fears ALLAH SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala the most.
    Be sympathetic towards the poor so that they may be able to speak and build courage.
    Extend a hand of friendship to a foreigner because if his stay is extended then he would leave his valuable possessions to return to his own country and leave that person responsible for his valuables who had been most worthy of his attention
    Do not taunt and curse anyone for this gives rise to collective evils in a person.
    One should not judge a person by the number of Salaat (prayer) or Roza (fasting) but by his wisdom and honesty.
    To die for the right is better than to live for falsehood. Courage is recommend, cowardice is detestable, and falsehood is vulnerable to vanish!
    
    Prayer is connected to the heart not by mere apparent actions.
    To educate a seeker of materialism is to place a sword in the hands of a highway robber.
    Do not trust the character of one who cannot control his temper.
    To laugh excessively is a sign of no remorse for death.
    To side with the oppressor is oppression on the oppressed.
    Death is the best teacher.
