Our life is shaped by our mind; we become what we think. Suffering follows an evil thought as the wheels of a cart follow the oxen that draws it. Our life is shaped by our mind; we become what we think. Joy follows a pure thought like a shadow that never leaves.

It is the fool who is haunted by fears, dread of dangers, oppression of mind, not the wise man.

Let all-embracing thoughts for all beings be yours.

Awake. Be the witness of your thoughts. The elephant hauls himself from the mud. In the same way drag yourself out of your sloth.

To abstain from lying is essentially wholesome.

There has to be evil so that good can prove its purity above it.

Live joyfully, without desire.
