The mind is the source of happiness and unhappiness.

Words do not express thoughts very well; every thing immediately becomes a little different, a little distorted, a little foolish. And yet it also pleases me and seems right that what is of value and wisdom of one man seems nonsense to another.

Times of luxury do not last long, but pass away very quickly; nothing in this world can be long enjoyed.

We will develop love, we will practice it, we will make it both a way and a basis.

The fool who thinks he is wise is just a fool. The fool who knows he is a fool is wise indeed.

There are no chains like hate...dwelling on your brother's faults multiplies your own. You are far from the end of your journey.

Do not speak - unless it improves on silence.
