The ignorant man is an ox. He grows in size, not in wisdom.

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

Irrigators channel waters; fletchers straighten arrows; carpenters bend wood; the wise master themselves.

All that has been hidden is rising, there is no stopping it! These things you cannot hide: the sun, the moon, and TRUTH.

Bring your mind to noble silence. Unify your mind in noble silence. Concentrate your mind in noble silence... Enter into rapture and pleasure born of silence derived of concentration and awareness that is free from thought and fabrication.

When faced with the vicissitudes of life, one's mind remains unshaken, sorrow-less, stainless, secure; this is the greatest welfare

Just as a mother would protect with her life her own son, her only son, so one should cultivate an unbounded mind towards all beings, and loving-kindness towards all the world. One should cultivate an unbounded mind, above and below and across, without obstruction, without enmity, without rivalry. Standing, or going, or seated, or lying down, as long as one is free from drowsiness, one should practice this mindfulness. This, they say, is the holy state here.
