Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.

A fool acquires knowledge only to his own disadvantage. It destroys what good he has, and turns his brains.

How deeply did you learn to let go?

As a mountain is unshaken by the wind, so the heart of a wise person is unmoved by all the changes on this earth.

The discipline which I have imparted to you will lead you when I am gone. Practice mindfulness diligently, to attain the goal of awakening.

Through vigilance, restraint and control the wise will construct and island that no flood will overcome.
