Do not say anything harsh: what you have said will be said back to you.

And he who lives a hundred years, idle and weak, a life of one day is better if a man has attained firm strength.

Set your heart on doing good. Do it over and over again, and you will be filled with joy.

If with an impure mind a person speaks or acts suffering follows him like the wheel that follows the foot of the ox.

Let no person think lightly of good, saying in his or her heart, "it will not benefit me." As by the falling of raindrops a jar of water is filled, so the wise person becomes full of good, even though he or she collects it little by little.

Establish your mind as necessary for knowledge and remembrance. Establish a mind free of grasping to anything.
