Things are not what they appear to be: nor are they otherwise.

If a viper lives in your room and you wish to have a peaceful sleep, you must first chase it out.

Turn away from mischief. Again and again, turn away. Before sorrow befalls you.

All composite things pass away. Strive for your own liberation with diligence.

The Truth is not Arbitrary or a Matter of Opinion, but can be Investigated, and Those who Earnestly Search for the Truth will Find It. The Truth is Hidden to the Blind, but he who has the Mental Eye Sees the Truth.

Solitude is happiness for one who is content, who has heard the Dhamma and clearly sees. Non-affliction is happiness in the world - harmlessness towards all living beings.
