Silence the angry man with love. Silence the ill-natured man with kindness. Silence the miser with generosity. Silence the liar with truth.

Imagine that every person in the world is enlightened but you. They are all your teachers, each doing just the right things to help you learn perfect patience, perfect wisdom, perfect compassion.

Why cling to the pain and the wrongs of yesterday? Why hold on to the very things that keep you from hope and love.

Look not for refuge to anyone beside yourself. Heed fast to the truth as a lamp.

All created things are impermanent. Strive diligently.

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.

Transient are conditioned things. Try to accomplish your aim with diligence.
