Not merely by rules of conduct and religious observances, nor by much learning either, nor even by attainment of concentration, nor by sleeping alone, do I reach the happiness of freedom, to which no worldlings attain. If you have not put an end to compulsions, nurse your faith

In compassion lies the world's true strength.

Never in this world can hatred be stilled by hatred; it will be stifled by non-hatred - this is the law Eternal.

The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, nor to worry about the future, but to live the present moment wisely and earnestly. There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth; not going all the way, and not starting.

You can search the world over and you will find no one who is more deserving of your kindness and well wishing than you yourself.

Be a light unto yourself.
