Good men and bad men differ radically. Bad men never appreciate kindness shown them, but wise men appreciate and are grateful. Wise men try to express their appreciation and gratitude by some return of kindness, not only to their benefactor, but to everyone else

This existence of ours is as transient as autumn clouds To watch the birth and death of beings is like looking at the movements of a dance. A lifetime is like a flash of lightning in the sky, Rushing by, like a torrent down a steep mountain.

Anger will never disappear so long as thoughts of resentment are cherished in the mind.

It is better to travel well then arrive.

However many holy words you read, However many you speak, What good will they do you If you do not act on upon them?

Let the wise guard their thoughts, which are difficult to perceive, extremely subtle, and wander at will. Thought which is well guarded is the bearer of happiness.

To insist on a spiritual practice that served you in the past is to carry the raft on your back after you have crossed the river.
