Thus shall ye think of all this fleeting world: As star at dawn, a bubble in a stream A flash of lightning in a summer cloud A flickering lamp, a phantom, and a dream

The tongue like a sharp knife ... Kills without drawing blood.

Journey over, sorrowless, freed in every way, and with all bonds broken - for such a man there is no more distress.

With gentleness overcome anger. With generosity overcome meanness. With truth overcome deceit.

If you're respectful by habit, constantly honoring the worthy, four things increase: long life, beauty, happiness, strength.

There are those who discover they can leave behind destructive reactions and become patient as the earth, unmoved by fires of anger or fear, unshaken as a pillar, unperturbed as a clear and quiet pool.

Peace comes from within; do not try to seek it without.
