I do not believe in a fate that falls on men however they act; but I do believe in a fate that falls on them unless they act.

And for a disciple thus freed, in whose heart dwells peace, there is nothing to be added to what has been done, and naught more remains for him to do. Just as a rock of one solid mass remains unshaken by the wind, even so, neither forms, nor sounds, nor odors, nor tastes, nor contacts of any kind, neither the desired, nor the undesired, can cause such an one to waver. Steadfast is his mind, gained is deliverance.

Whoever has done harmful actions but later covers them up with good is like the moon which, freed from clouds, lights up the world.

Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.

With good will for the entire cosmos, cultivate a limitless heart: above, below, and all around, unobstructed, without hostility or hate.

Religion is a cow. It gives milk, but it also kicks.

Don't indulge in careless behaviour. Don't be the friend of sensual pleasures. He who meditates attentively attains abundant joy.
