Those who are truly wise will remain unmoved by feelings of happiness and suffering, fame and disgrace, praise and blame, gain and loss.They will remain calm like the eye of a hurricane.

After much seeking for truth and knowledge the profoundness of reality came to me with a clarity never before known.

As a water bead on a lotus leaf, as water on a red lily, does not adhere, so the sage does not adhere to the seen, the heard, or the sensed.

The shallow is easy to embrace, but the profound is difficult. To discard the shallow and seek the profound is the way of a person of courage.

At the bottom of things, most people want to be understood and appreciated.

Be quick to do good. If you are slow, the mind, delighting in mischief, will catch you.

Let a man avoid evil deeds as a man who loves life avoids poison.
