Love the one you love in moderation; one day they may become the one you dislike. And dislike the one you dislike in moderation; one day they may become the one you love.
أحبب حبيبك هونا ما، عسى أن يكون بغيضك يوما ما، وأبغض بغيضك هونا ما، عسى أن يكون حبيبك يوما ما
Ahbib habîbeke hevnen mâ, asâ en yekûne bagîdake yevmen mâ; ve ebgıd bagîdake hevnen mâ, asâ en yekûne habîbeke yevmen mâ
Ali, Nahj al-Balagha, saying 268 (Subhi Salih edition, p. 522; saying 268 in the Abduh edition). Nahj al-Balagha is a compilation without chains of transmission by al-Sharif al-Radi (d. 1015).
Today's friend may be tomorrow's stranger.
Today's stranger, tomorrow's friend.
Ali is not telling you to close your heart.
He is teaching measure.
Excessive love, once broken, turns to enmity.
Excessive anger burns the road back.
Leave the door ajar on both sides.
