What is the appropriate behavior for a man or a woman in the midst of this world, where each person is clinging to his piece of debris? What's the proper salutation between people as they pass each other in this flood?

Death carries off a man busy picking flowers with an besotted mind, like a great flood does a sleeping village.

The ignorant man is an ox. He grows in size, not in wisdom.

It is our own thoughts that lead us into trouble, not other people.

Hatred does not cease in this world by hating, but by not hating; this is an eternal truth.

To understand everything is to forgive everything.

There is no fire like passion: there is no evil and hatred.
