You, as much as anyone in the universe, deserve your love and respect.

Let all-embracing thoughts for all beings be yours.

When a monk is an arahant, with his fermentations ended - one who has reached fulfillment, done the task, laid down the burden, attained the true goal, totally destroyed the fetter of becoming, and is released through right gnosis - the thought doesn't occur to him that 'There is someone better than me,' or 'There is someone equal to me,' or 'There is someone worse than me.'

An pretend and evil friend is haughty to be feared than a unmanageable beast; a unmanageable beast may mouthful your build up, but an evil friend fortitude mouthful your intellect.

When giving to others do not linger on thoughts of a giving, what was given, or the one who has received.

Through effort you will cross any raging flood, through energy you will pass any sorrow.

If a string has one end, it has another.
