Modesty is the decoration of poverty & thanks giving is the decoration of affluence & wealth. And patience & endurance is the ornament & decoration of calamity & distress. And humility is the decoration of lineage. And eloquence is the decoration of speech; committing to memory is the decoration of tradition. And bowing the shoulders is the decoration of knowledge. And the decency & good morale is the decoration of mind. And smiling face is the decoration of munificence & generosity. And not boasting of doing favor is the decoration of good deeds. And humility is the decoration of service.. And spending less is the decoration of contentment. And abandoning the meaningless & unnecessarily things is the decoration of abstention & fear of Allah
Imam Muhammad al-Taqī al-Jawād (a.s)
