Temperance is a tree which as for its root very little contentment, and for its fruit calm and peace.

Those who are ashamed of what they ought not to be ashamed; and are not ashamed of what they ought to be - such men, embracing erroneous views, enter the woeful path.

He who, calm and clear as the moon, hankers no more for continuity-he is holy.

Do not speak harshly to any one; those who are spoken to will answer thee in the same way. Angry speech is painful: blows for blows will touch thee.

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.

It is good to have companions when occasion arises, and it is good to be contented with whatever comes.
