The world is a looking glass. It gives back to every man a true reflection of his own thoughts. Rule your mind or it will rule you.

The world is afflicted by death and decay. But the wise do not grieve, having realized the nature of the world.

Meditation brings wisdom; lack of meditation leaves ignorance. Know well what leads you forward and what holds you back, and choose the path that leads to wisdom.

Just as a candle cannot burn without fire, men cannot live without a spiritual life.

When action comes out of nothing it creates no karma.
