Everything is based on mind, is led by mind, is fashioned by mind. If you speak and act with a pure mind, happiness will follow you, as a shadow clings to a form.

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

He who has renounced all violence towards all living beings, weak or strong, who neither kills nor causes others to kill - him I do call a holy man.

Our life is shaped by our mind; we become what we think.

In the end these things matter most: How well did you love? How fully did you live? How deeply did you let go?

There is only one time when it is essential to awaken. That time is now.

To him in whom love dwells, the whole world is but one family.
