لسانُ العاقلِ وراءَ قلبِهِ، وقلبُ الأحمقِ وراءَ لسانه.
The tongue of a wise person is behind their mind. The mind of the fool is behind their tongue.
لسانُ العاقلِ وراءَ قلبِهِ، وقلبُ الأحمقِ وراءَ لسانه.
The tongue of a wise person is behind their mind. The mind of the fool is behind their tongue.
These quotes come from Alone with the Alone, a 264-page bilingual hardcover of 113 quotes from Ali Ibn Abi Talib, with footnotes and an afterword.
