Overcome the angry by non-anger; overcome the wicked by goodness; overcome the miser by generosity; overcome the liar by truth.

There is nothing so disobedient as an undisciplined mind, and there is nothing so obedient as a disciplined mind.

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

Goodwill toward all beings is the true religion; cherish in your hearts boundless goodwill to all that lives.

All descriptions of reality are temporary hypotheses.

One should not kill a living being, nor cause it to be killed, nor should one incite another to kill. Do not injure any being, either strong or weak, in the world.

There is pleasure And there is bliss. Forgo the first to possess the second. If you are happy At the expense of another man's happiness, You are forever bound.
