Better than a thousand hollow words Is one word that brings peace. Better than a thousand hollow verses Is one verse that brings peace. Better than a hundred hollow lines Is one line of the dharma, bringing peace. It is better to conquer yourself Than to win a thousand battles. Then the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, Not by angels or by demons, Heaven or hell.

Happiness never decreased by being shared.

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.

Let your love flow outward through the universe, To its height, its depth, its broad extent, A limitless love, without hatred or enmity. Then as you stand or walk, Sit or lie down, As long as you are awake, Strive for this with a one-pointed mind; Your life will bring heaven to earth.

You throw thorns, falling in my silence they become flowers.

The world is continuous flux and is impermanent.

If a person does not harm any living being...and does not kill or cause others to kill - that person is a true spiritual practitioner
