To walk safely through the maze of human life, one needs the light of wisdom and the guidance of virtue.

Health is the first benefit. Content is the first fortune. Friendliness is the first kindness. Nirvana is the first happiness.

Be a light unto yourself.

As soon as we think we are safe, something unexpected happens.

The person who masters himself through self-control and discipline is truly undefeatable.

To be idle is a short road to death and to be diligent is a way of life; foolish people are idle, wise people are diligent.

All of you knowing now, Tthat the Buddhas, the Teachers of the Ages, In accord with what is peculiarly appropriate, have recourse to expedient devices, Need have no more doubts or uncertainties. Your hearts shall give rise to great joy, Since you know that you yourselves Shall become Buddhas.
