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.

Though through all his life a fool associates with a wise man, he yet understands not the Dharma, as the spoon, the flavor of soup.

Kindness should become the natural way of life,not the exception.

Maintain a state of balance between physical acts and inner serenity,like a lute whose strings are finely tuned.

The wind cannot overturn a mountain. Temptation cannot touch the man Who is awake, strong and humble, Who masters hiself and minds the law.

It is not life and wealth and power that enslave men, but the cleaving to life and wealth and power.

Focusnot on the rudeness of others,not on what they've done or left undone,but on what you have done and have not doneyourself.
