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

Comparing oneself to others in such terms as "Just as I am so are they, just as they are so am I," he should neither kill nor cause others to kill.

If you want to know the past, look at your present. If you want to know the future, look at your present.

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

It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles.

'I've got children', 'I've got wealth.' This is the way a fool brings suffering on himself. He does not even own himself, so how can he have children or wealth?

Stay centered, do not overstretch. Extend from your center, return to your center.
