81. The one who is worst in bargaining and most unsuccessful in striving is he who exerts himself in seeking the realization of his hopes while fate does not help him in his aims, and [as a result] he leaves this world in a sorrowful state and proceeds to the next world where he faces the consequences.

81 إنَّ أخْسَرَ النَّاسِ صَفْقَةً، وأخْيَبَهُمْ سَعياً، رَجلٌ أخْلَقَ بَدَنَهُ في طَلَبِ آمالِهِ، ولَم تُساعِدْهُ المَقاديرُ على إرادَتِهِ، فَخَرَجَ مِنَ الدُّنيا بِحَسَراتِهِ، وقَدِمَ عَلَى الآخِرَةِ بِتَبِعاتِهِ.
