Let us live in joy, never falling sick like those who hate us. Let us live in freedom, without hatred even among those who hate.

Don't rely on logic alone, nor speculation. Don't infer or be deceived by appearances.

Do not believe anything on the mere authority of teachers or priests. Accept as true and as the guide to your life only that which accords with your own reason and experience, after thorough investigation. Accept only that which contributes to the well-being of yourself and others.

Let them not do the slightest thing that the wise would later reprove.

Comparing oneself to others in such terms as "Just as I am so are they, just as they are so am I," he should neither kill nor cause others to kill.

Reverence, humility, contentment, gratitude and hearing the good Dhamma, this is the best good luck.

It is ignorance that smothers, and it is carelessness that makes it invisible. The hunger of craving pollutes the world, and the pain of suffering causes the greatest fear.
