Arrogance
Narrated Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him):

“No one will enter Paradise who has even a mustard-seed’s weight of arrogance in his heart, and no one will enter Hell who has even a mustard-seed’s weight of faith in his heart.”

Do not Haste
The Prophet (may Allah’s peace be upon him) said:
O people, calmly, calmly.
[Muslim]
He said at the time when the people were making clamour, were jostling noisily and the camels were making noise:
O people, go calmly for walking in haste is not from righteousness.
[al-Bukharee and Muslim]

Wishing for Others
Narrated Anas (may Allah be pleased with him):

Equality
Prophet Muhammad (may Allah’s peace be upon him) said:
“All mankind is from Adam and Eve; an Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab nor a non-Arab has any superiority over an Arab; also a White has no superiority over a Black nor a Black has any superiority over a White except by piety and good action. Learn that every Muslim is a brother to every Muslim and that the Muslims constitute one brotherhood…”
[The Farewell Sermon, Musnad Ahmad, # 411]
