Unkind people spread malicious tales, and well-intentioned people also censure; but in either case the tranquil sage remains unconcerned. Nowhere is there to be found a disconcerted sage.

Being able to make friends and keep them, welcoming others and sharing with them, a guide, philosopher and friend. One like this will be praised.

Make of yourself a light.

Goodwill toward all beings is the true religion; cherish in your hearts boundless goodwill to all that lives.

To share happiness, and to have done something good before leaving this life is sweet.

The world is continuous flux and is impermanent.

Generosity brings happiness at every stage of its expression. We experience joy in forming the intention to be generous. We experience joy in the actual act of giving something. And we experience joy in remembering the fact that we have given.
