Sayings of Hazrat Ali Karram-Allah-Wajhahu Wisdom is the goal of the believer, so acquire wisdom even from hypocrites. A believer does not enter into a matter in ignorance and never departs from the truth impotent. Treat the members of your family with love and respect because they act as wings with which you fly. There is no greater wealth than wisdom, no greater poverty than ignorance; no greater heritage than culture and no greater support than consultation.
