There is no fire like passion, there is no shark like hatred, there is no snare like folly, there is no torrent like greed.

Ennui has made more gamblers than avarice, more drunkards than thirst, and perhaps as many suicides as despair.

Religion is a cow. It gives milk, but it also kicks.

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

For soon the body is discarded, Then what does it feel? A useless log of wood, it lies on the ground, Then what does it know? Your worst enemy cannot harm you As much as your own thoughts, unguarded. But once mastered, No one can help you as much, Not even your father or your mother.

For the wakeful one whose mind is quiet, whose thoughts are undisturbed, who has relinquished judgement and blame, there is no fear.

Karma grows from our hearts. Karma terminates from our hearts.
