It is your mind that creates the world.

The world is afflicted by death and decay. But the wise do not grieve, having realized the nature of the world.

To have much learning, to be skillful in handicraft, well-trained in discipline, and to be of good speech -- this is the greatest blessing.

No light is brighter than wisdom. Wisdom is the light in the world.

All human unhappiness comes from not facing reality squarely, exactly as it is.

The thought manifests as the word. The word manifests as the deed. The deed develops into habit. And the habit hardens into character. So watch the thought and its ways with care. And let it spring from love, born out of concern for all beings.

Why do what you will regret? Why bring tears upon yourself? Do only what you do not regret, And fill yourself with joy.
