إيّاكَ وطُولَ الأمَلِ، فَكَمْ مِنْ مَغْرُور افتَتَنَ بِطُولِ أمَلَهِ، وأفْسََدَ عََمَلَهُ، وقَطَعَ أجَلَهُ، فَلا أمَلَهُ أدْرَكَ ولا ما فاتَهُ اسْتَدرَكَ۔
Be cautious not to lengthen [your] hope, for many a deceived person has been enticed by his long hope and corrupted his deeds and cut [short] his lifetime, then neither was his hope realized nor was that which he lost regained.
— Imam Ali a.s.
