One who does not rouse themself when it is time to rise, who, though capable, is full of sloth, whose will and thought are weak, that lazy and idle person will never find their way to true knowledge.

In what is seen, there should be just the seen; In what is heard, there should be just the heard; In what is sensed, there should be just the sensed; In what is thought, there should be just the thought. He should not kill a living being, nor cause it to be killed, nor should he incite another to kill. Do not injure any being, either strong or weak in the world.

He who, seeking his own happiness, punishes or kills beings who also long for happiness, will not find happiness after his death.

Household life is crowded and dusty; life gone forth is wide open... Suppose I shave off my hair and beard, put on the ochre robe, and go forth from the home life into homelessness.

More than those who hate you, more than all your enemies, an undisciplined mind does greater harm.

If you do not follow the right path, you will be lost.

Victory breeds hatred; the defeated live in pain. The peaceful live happily, giving up victory and defeat.
