You should respect each other and refrain from disputes; you should not, like water and oil, repel each other, but should, like milk and water, mingle together.

A brahmin once asked The Blessed One: "Are you a God?" "No, brahmin" said The Blessed One. "Are you a saint?" "No, brahmin" said The Blessed One. "Are you a magician?" "No, brahmin" said The Blessed One. "What are you then?" "I am awake."

All created things are impermanent. Strive diligently.

One is not a great one because one defeats or harms other living beings. One is so called because one refrains from defeating or harming other living beings.

Kindnessis giving others happiness.Compassionis removing others' bitterness.Joyis freeing others from suffering.

Let a man neither give himself over to pleasures ... nor yet let him give himself over to self-mortification ... To the exclusion of both these extremes, the Truth-Finder has discovered a middle course.
