Long is the night to him who is awake; long is a mile to him who is tired; long is life to the foolish who do not know the true law.

Harm no other beings. They are just your brothers and sisters.

Do not interrogate silence because silence is mute; do not expect anything from the gods, nor should you try to bribe them with gifts, because it is in ourselves that we must look for liberation.

Live contemplating the body through mindfulness. Live contemplating feelings. In this way you will be aware of and control wrong desires.

Only those who go where few have gone can see what few have seen.

'Wherefore, brethren, thus must ye train yourselves : Liberation of the will through love will develop, we will often practice it, we will make it vehicle and base, take our stand upon it, store it up, throughly set it going.'

Just as a snake sheds its skin, we must shed our past over and over again.
