Suffering does not befall him who is without attachment to names and forms.

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

And he who has considered all the contrasts on this earth, and is no more disturbed by anything whatever in the world, the Peaceful One, freed from rage, from sorrow, and from longing, he has passed beyond birth and decay.

Let a man overcome anger by love.

His success may be great, but be it ever so great the wheel of fortune may turn again and bring him down into the dust.

Even loss and betrayal can bring us awakening.

Little by little a person becomes evil, as a water pot is filled by drops of water... Little by little a person becomes good, as a water pot is filled by drops of water.
