Abu Hamid al-Ghazali
“Declare your jihad on thirteen enemies you cannot see -egoism, arrogance, conceit, selfishness, greed, lust, intolerance, anger, lying, cheating, gossiping and slandering. If you can master and destroy them, then you will be read to fight the enemy you can see.”
Al-Ghazzali

“Never judge someone's character based on the words of another. Instead, study the motives behind the words of the person casting the bad judgment. An honest woman can sell tangerines all day and remain a good person until she dies, but there will always be naysayers who will try to convince you otherwise. Perhaps this woman did not give them something for free, or at a discount. Perhaps too, that she refused to stand with them when they were wrong — or just stood up for something she felt was right. And also, it could be that some bitter women are envious of her, or that she rejected the advances of some very proud men. Always trust your heart. If the Creator stood before a million men with the light of a million lamps, only a few would truly see him because truth is already alive in their hearts. Truth can only be seen by those with truth in them. He who does not have Truth in his heart, will always be blind to her.”
Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem

“One who gossips usually carries boredom in one hand and bitterness in the other.”

Sijdah Hussain
“The saddest thing you can do as a human is to discuss one person with another for the sake of it. The unkindest thing you can do to a human is to tarnish their reputation in front of others just to make yourself look good. An unfortunate thing that you can do to a person is to be unapologetically direct and not understand their side. However, the WORST thing you can do is to slip in ‘little’ white lies just to save yourself from confrontations & emotional conversations.
Complain about each other to each other.
Have your freedom … G E N T L Y.
Discuss your mind – politely.”
Sijdah Hussain, Red Sugar, No More

Martha Begley Schade
“Lies can travel so fast, from one person to another. You can never take them back. It is like shaking out a pillowcase full of feathers at the top of a mountain on a windy day. Do you think you would ever be able to gather up every single feather again?”
“No, I guess not”, said the little girl.
“No, you can never find all the feathers because you will never know where they have gone – or how far”, replied the tree. “It’s the same with lies, rumours, and gossip”.”
Martha Begley Schade, The Listening Tree: Befriending Nature

Daryl Banner
“The point is, I understand about rumors and bullshit gossip all of these bored fuckers like to sling around. The only reason they do it is ‘cause their own lives are fucking boring. If you’re at the center of a rumor, it just means you’re more interesting than anyone else. You’ll be the one who they remember years from now. And isn’t that the point of living a life at all? To be remembered?”
Daryl Banner, When I See You Again

People who can't tell suffering from inconvenience.
My people are the meek, my people are the destitute,
My people are those too hungry to pass judgment.”
Abhijit Naskar, Amor Apocalypse: Canım Sana İhtiyacım

Sei Shōnagon
“Yet surely, in the world of humans, no one goes out of their way to run down a person who hasn't really made it in the world, or whose reputation is already on the wane. And no one would pause to savour the sight or the sound of some boring bird such as a kite or a crow. So, really, it's precisely because the uguisu is supposed to be such a marvellous bird that one's perversely more aware of its failings.”
Sei Shōnagon, The Pillow Book

Luigina Sgarro
