Thought-habits can harden into character. So watch your thoughts.

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.

One act of pure love in saving life is greater than spending the whole of one's time in religious offerings to the gods . . .

When the sleeping snake is gone, then you can rest at ease.

Always be mindful of the kindness and not the faults of others

Do not have as friends harmful people, the wise person does not associate with the worst of people. Have as friends virtuous people, the wise person associates with the best of people.

Some do not understand that we must die, But those who do realize this settle their quarrels.
