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

He who loves 50 people has 50 woes; he who loves no one has no woes.

Noble friends and companions are the whole of the holy life.

Before enlightenment; chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment; chop wood, carry water.

As the fletcher whittles and makes straight his arrows, so the master directs his straying thoughts.

In exactly the same way, ... scatter your body, your feeling, your perception, your predispositions, your discriminative consciousness, break them up, knock them down, cease to play with them, apply yourself to the destruction of craving for them. Verily, ... the extinction of craving is Nirvana.

Doing the good deeds is like the grass in the garden. You don't see its growth. But, it does by days. Doing the wicked deeds is like the hone. You don't see its damage. But, it does by days.
