Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without. It can be argued that peace and happiness comes from the subjective internalised perspective of realizing things could be worse and being grateful they aren't. The alternative view that peace and happiness comes from the objective external perspective of having more and better things than at present, while important for growth, can be a never-ending source of jealousy, dissatisfaction and disappointment. A balance of the two, where people are grateful for what they have while striving for more seems the best blended perspective.

The big belly can accommodate all kinds of things. The benevolence is never let a dust behind.

Like fresh milk a bad deed does not turn at once. It follows a fool scorching him like a smouldering fire.

Let a man overcome anger by love.

Know well what holds you back, and what moves you forward

The fool who recognizes his foolishness, is a wise man. But the fool who believes himself a wise man, he really is a fool.

Your worst enemy cannot harm you as much as your own unguarded thoughts. Develop the mind of equilibrium. You will always be getting praise and blame, but do not let either affect the poise of the mind: follow the calmness, the absence of pride.
