A man should first direct himself in the way he should go. Only then should he instruct others.

Whatever the hateful do to the hateful, or an enemy to an enemy, worse is the harm of a misguided mind directed at oneself.

From craving is born grief, from craving is born fear. For one freed from craving there's no grief- so how fear?

The Tempter masters the lazy and irresolute man who dwells on the attractive side of things, ungoverned in his senses, and unrestrained in his food, like the wind overcomes a rotten tree. But the Tempter cannot master a man who dwells on the distasteful side of things, self-controlled in his senses, moderate in eating, resolute and full of faith, like the wind cannot move a mountain crag.

The fool who recognizes his foolishness, is a wise man. But the fool who believes himself a wise man, he really is a fool.

Resolutely train yourself to attain peace

Bring your mind to noble silence. Unify your mind in noble silence. Concentrate your mind in noble silence... Enter into rapture and pleasure born of silence derived of concentration and awareness that is free from thought and fabrication.
