The fool who thinks he is wise is just a fool. The fool who knows he is a fool is wise indeed.

Suffering is an illusion.

You can only lose what you cling to.

True and lasting inner peace can never be found in external things. It can only be found within in. And then, once we find and nurture it with ourselves, it radiates outward.

Do not overlook tiny good actions, thinking they are of no benefit; even tiny drops of water in the end will fill a huge vessel. Do not overlook negative actions merely because they are small; however small a spark may be, it can burn down a haystack as big as a mountain.

True charity occurs only when there are no notions of giving, giver, or gift.

If you're respectful by habit, constantly honoring the worthy, four things increase: long life, beauty, happiness, strength.
