The only way to fail is to quit.

Happiness doesn't always come from a pursuit. Sometimes it comes when we least expect it.

The simple recognition that everyone else wants to be happy and not to suffer, just as I do, serves as a constant reminder against selfishness and partiality. It reminds us there is little to be gained from being kind and generous while hoping to win something in return. Actions motivated by a desire to earn a good name for ourselves are still selfish, even if they appear to be acts of kindness.

Sectarian feelings and criticism of other teachings or other sects is very bad, poisonous, and should be avoided.

Buddha was speaking about reality. Reality may be one, in its deepest essence, but Buddha also stated that all propositions about reality are only contingent.

A learned person will become noble only when he or she has put into real practice what has been learned, instead of mere words.

If your own mental attitude is correct, even if you remain in a hostile atmosphere, you feel happy.
