Never have anything to do with likes and dislikes. The absence of what one likes is painful, as is the presence of what one dislikes. Therefore don't take a liking to anything. To lose what one likes is hard, but there are no bonds for those who have no likes and dislikes. From preference arises sorrow, from preference arises fear, but he who is freed from preference has no sorrow and certainly no fear.

Long is the night to him who is awake; long is a mile to him who is tired; long is life to the foolish who do not know the true law.

Being deeply learned and skilled, being well trained and using well spoken words; This is good luck.

Men who are addicted to the passions are like the torch-carrier running against the wind; his hands are sure to be burned.

I know what I gave them; I don't know what they received.

It is better to do nothing Than to do what is wrong. For whatever you do, you do to yourself.

Your worst enemy cannot harm you as much as your own unguarded thoughts.
