    محمد بن إدريس الشافعي
    “إذا المرء لا يرعاك إلا تكلفاً.. فدعه ولا تُكثِر عليه التأسفا
    ففي الناس أبدال وفي الترك راحةٌ.. وفي القلب صبرٌ للحبيب ولو جفا
    فما كل من تهواه يهواكَ قلبُه.. ولا كل من صافيته لك قد صفا
    إذا لم يكن صفو الوداد طبيعةً.. فلا خيرَ في ودٍ يجئُ تكلٌفا
    ولا خيرَ في خِلٍ يخون خليله.. ويلقاهُ من بعدِ المودة بالجفا
    ويُنكِرُ عيشاً قد تقادم عهدهُ.. ويُظهِرُ سراً كان بالأمس قد خفا
    سلامٌ على الدنيا إذا لم يكن بها.. صديقٌ صدوقٌ صادقُ الوعدِ مُنصِفا”

    محمد بن إدريس الشافعي
    “صن النفس واحملها على ما يزينها تعش سالما والقول فيك جميل
    ولا ترين الناس إلا تجملا نبا بك دهر أو جفاك خليل
    وإن ضاق رزق اليوم فاصبر إلى غد عسى نكبات الدهر عنك تزول
    ولا خير في ود امريء متلون إذا الريح مالت ، مال حيث تميل
    وما اكثر الإخوان حين تعدهم ولكنهم في النائبات قليل”
    ― الامام الشافعى
