1- الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): إزَالَةُ الرَّوَاسِي أسْهَلُ مِنْ تَأْلِيفِ القُلُوبِ المُتَنَافِرَةِ.
1- Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘Moving mountains is easier than bringing hostile hearts together.’[Bihar al-Anwar, v. 78, p. 11, no. 70]
2- الإمامُ الصّادقُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): إنَّ سُرْعةَ ائْتِلاَفِ قُلُوبِ الأبْرَارِ إذا الْتَقَوا ـ وَإنْ لَمْ يُظهِرُوا التَّوَدُّدَ بأَلْسِنَتِهِمْ ـ كَسُرْعَةِ اخْتِلاَطِ ماءِ السَّمَاءِ بِماءِ الأنْهَارِ . وإنَّ بُعْدَ ائْتِلاَفِ قُلُوبِ الفُجَّارِ إذَا الْتَقَوا ـ وَإنْ أظْهَـرُوا التـَّوَدُّدَ بأَلْسِنَتِهِـمْ ـ كَبُعْـدِ البَهَـائِـمِ مِـنَ التَّعَاطُفِ وَإنْ طَالَ اعْتِلاَفُهَا عَلى مِذْوَدٍ واحِدٍ.
2- Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, ‘The speed of amity between the hearts of pious people when they meet – even if they do not show their mutual love on their tongues – is like the speed of the rain water when it mixes with the water of rivers. And the distance between the hearts of the wicked when they meet – even if they make a show of love on their tongues – is like the distance between beasts that cannot have mutual affection no matter how long they eat from the same trough.’[Tuhaf al-`Uqoul, no. 373]
