Drink deeply. Live in serenity and joy.

Persevere in thy quest and thou shalt find what thou seekest. Pursue thy aim unswervingly and thou shalt gain victory. Struggle earnestly and thou shalt triumph.

Fools wait for a lucky day, but everyday is a lucky day for an industrious man.

Overcome the angry by non-anger; overcome the wicked by goodness; overcome the miser by generosity; overcome the liar by truth.

Do not interrogate silence because silence is mute; do not expect anything from the gods, nor should you try to bribe them with gifts, because it is in ourselves that we must look for liberation.

By your own efforts waken yourself, watch yourself. And live joyfully.

The cause of all pain and suffering is ignorance.
