No one can escape death and unhappiness. If people expect only happiness in life, they will be disappointed.

It is better to do nothing Than to do what is wrong. For whatever you do, you do to yourself.

Man's troubles are rooted in extreme attention to senses, thoughts, and imagination. Attention should be focused internally to experience a quiet body and a calm mind.

Whatever an enemy might do to an enemy, or a foe to a foe, the ill-directed mind can do to you even worse.

Believe nothing just because a so-called wise person said it. Believe nothing just because a belief is generally held. Believe nothing just because it is said in ancient books. Believe nothing just because it is said to be of divine origin. Believe nothing just because someone else believes it. Believe only what you yourself test and judge to be true.

When you move your focus from competition to contribution life becomes a celebration. Never try to defeat people, just win their hearts.

Mutual respect and mutual listening are the foundations of harmony within the family.
