Pearls of Umar ibn Al-Khattab (1)

The best way to defeat someone is to beat him at politeness.

Do not grieve over what has passed unless it makes you work harder for what is about to come.


Whosoever shows you your faults is your friend. Those that pay you lip service in praise are your executioners.


I have never regretted my silence, as for my speech I’ve regretted it many times


The less attachment to the world. The easier your life.


-- Umar ibn Al-Khattab
