Love yourself and be awake- Today, tomorrow, always. First establish yourself in the way, Then teach others, And so defeat sorrow. To straighten the crooked You must first do a harder thing- Straighten yourself. You are your only master. Who else? Subdue yourself, And discover your master.

Let the wise guard their thoughts, which are difficult to perceive, extremely subtle, and wander at will. Thought which is well guarded is the bearer of happiness.

Meditate. Live purely. Be quiet. Do your work with mastery. Like the moon, come out from behind the clouds! Shine.

One who is wise and disciplined, always kind and intelligent, humble and free from pride. One like this will be praised.

The eating of meat extinguishes the seed of Great Kindness.

Better than a long speech is a single quietening word.

Fashion your life as a garland of beautiful deeds.
