“Do not look to those above you. Look to those below you, as it will more likely remind you of the favors Allah has bestowed upon you. (Prophet Muhammad, may the peace and blessings of God be upon him)”

“The reward of every deed is known, except for the reward of patience, which will be like heavy rain.”

“Every love outside of His love, is pain.”

“O feet of patience, keep going, for what remains is only a little. Remember the sweetness of worship, then the bitterness of striving will become easier for you.”
