Don't rely on logic alone, nor speculation. Don't infer or be deceived by appearances.

Reverence, humility, contentment, gratitude and hearing the good Dhamma, this is the best good luck.

Don't believe a teaching just because you've heard it from a man who's supposed to be holy, or because it's contained in a book supposed to be holy, or because all your friends and neighbors believe it. But whatever you've observed and analyzed for yourself and found to be reasonable and good, then accept that and put it into practice.

All compounded things are subject to decay. Strive with diligence!

As a bee without harming the flower, its colour or scent, flies away, collecting only the honey, even so should the sage wander in the village.

One is not a great one because one defeats or harms other living beings. One is so called because one refrains from defeating or harming other living beings.

Those who are pure in heart and single in purpose are able to understand the most supreme Way. It is like polishing a mirror, which becomes bright when the dust is removed. Remove your passions, and have no hankering.
