The way to happiness is: keep your heart free from hate, your mind from worry. Live simply, give much. Fill your life with love. Do as you would be done by.

Thus all things are subject to death, sorrow and suffering. I became aware that I too was of the same nature, the nature of beginning and end. What if I searched for that which underlies all creation, that which is nirvana, the perfect freedom from unconditioned existence?

He who is grateful doesn't suffer.

Treat not others in ways that you yourself would find hurtful.

As from a large heap of flowers many garlands and wreaths are made, so by a mortal in this life there is much good work to be done.

This is the entire spiritual life, Ananda, that is, good friendship, good companionship, good comradeship. When a monk has a good friend, a good companion, a good comrade, it is to be expected that he will develop and cultivate the Noble Eightfold Path.

Whoever doesn't flare up at someone who's angry wins a battle hard to win.
