The fool thinks he has won a battle when he bullies with harsh speech, but knowing how to be forbearing alone makes one victorious.

The discipline which I have imparted to you will lead you when I am gone. Practice mindfulness diligently, to attain the goal of awakening.

Do not breathing in the chronological, do not dream of the later, drain the intellect on the bring about twinkling.

Do not give up your authority and follow blindly the will of others. This way will lead to only delusion.

Do not interrogate silence because silence is mute; do not expect anything from the gods, nor should you try to bribe them with gifts, because it is in ourselves that we must look for liberation.

Like a lovely flower full of color but lacking in fragrance, are the words of those who do not practice what they teach.

A person is ruined by taking the measure of other persons.
