Some quotes…
It is said that a man who was overburdened by worries went to a wise man and said, “I’ve come to you because I can’t find a solution or a way out of the problems I’m in.” The wise man said to him, “I will ask you two questions and I want you to answer them both.” The man said, “Ask.”
He said, “Did you come into this world with all these problems?”
He said, “No!”
He said, “Will you leave this world taking all these problems with you?”
He said, “No!”
He said, “A matter that you did not come with, nor will you leave with… it’s more appropriate that it need not take all this energy from you nor overburden you like this. Be patient over the matters of this world, and let your gaze towards the heavens be longer than your gaze towards the earth, and you will soon have what you wish for.”
Imam Malik (rh): “Do not look to the sins of people as if you are Lords, but look to your own sins as if you are slaves. Have mercy on the people of affliction and praise Allah for your well-being, and never say, ‘This person is from the people of Hellfire, and this person is from the people of Paradise.’ Do not be arrogant over the sinners, but rather ask Allah to grant them hidayah and rashad (i.e. guidance).”
“Don’t deprive someone of hope for perhaps that is all they have at that moment. Be someone who encourages; be a friend who inspires, a relative who supports, and a stranger who is kind. Grant people hope for perhaps that is all they have to make it through, and in turn Allah will fulfill your hopes and help you make it through…” – Fajr

Birkah, this is the Arabic to the 2 posts on top:
سأل رجل مهموم حكيم
أيها الحكيم لقد أتيتك وما لي حيلة مما أنا فيه من الهم؟
فقال الحكيم :سأسألك سؤالين وأُريد إجابتهما
فقال الرجل: اسأل.
فقال الحكيم: أجئت إلى هذه الدنيا ومعك تلك المشاكل؟
قال: لا!
فقال الحكيم: هل ستترك الدنيا وتأخذ معك المشاكل؟
قال:لا!
فقال الحكيم: أمر لم تأتِ به، ولن يذهب معك .الأجدر ألا يأخذ منك كل هذا الهم !فكن صبوراً على أمر الدنيا
وليكن نظرك إلى السماء أطول من نظرك إلى الأرض يكن لك ما أردت
_
روي عن الإمام مالك أنه كان يقول: “لا تنظروا في ذنوب الناس كأنكم أرباب وانظروا إلى ذنوبكم كأنكم عبيد فإرحموا أهل البلاء وإحمدوا الله على العافية وإياك أن تقول : هذا من أهل النار وهذا من أهل الجنة لا تتكبر على أهل المعصية بل أدع الله لهم بالهداية والرشاد
