Virtues and worth of a man according to his character

1998. hadíth

٤٧. وَقَالَ (عليه ‏السلام): قَدْرُ الرَّجُلِ عَلَى قَدْرِ هِمَّتِهِ، وَصِدْقُهُ عَلَى قَدْرِ مُرُوءَتِهِ، وَشَجَاعَتُهُ عَلَى قَدْرِ أَنَفَتِهِ، وَعِفَّتُهُ عَلَى قَدْرِ غَيْرَتِهِ.

47. Amīr al-mu’minīn, peace be upon him, said: The worth of a man is according to his courage, his truthfulness is according to his balance of temper, his valour is according to his self-respect and his chasteness is according to his sense of shame.
