A noble person is mindful and thankful for the favors he receives from others.

I do not perceive even one other thing, O monks, that when undeveloped and uncultivated entails such great suffering as the mind. The mind when undeveloped and uncultivated entails great suffering.

Radiate boundless love towards the entire world - above, below, and across - unhindered, without ill will, without enmity.

May all sentient beings be happy and free of suffering.

Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned. A good friend who points out mistakes and imperfections and rebukes evil is to be respected as if he reveals a secret of hidden treasure.

When the sleeping snake is gone, then you can rest at ease.

Dharma is not upheld by talking about it. Dharma is upheld by living in harmony with it.
