If you knew what I know about the power of giving, you would not let a single meal pass without sharing it in some way.

One who, while seeking happiness, oppresses with violence other living beings who also desire happinesss, will not find happiness hereafter.

Cut down the forest, not just a tree. Out of the forest of desire springs danger. By cutting down both the forest of desire and the brushwood of longing, be rid of the forest, bhikkhus.

If you light a lamp for somebody, it will also brighten your path.

Silence the angry man with love. Silence the ill-natured man with kindness. Silence the miser with generosity. Silence the liar with truth.

No one outside ourselves can rule us inwardly. When we know this, we become free.

Love in the past is only a memory. Love in the future is only a fantasy. True love lives in the here and now.
