For the good of the many, for the happiness of the many, out of compassion for the world.

Men who are addicted to the passions are like the torch-carrier running against the wind; his hands are sure to be burned.

Irrigators channel waters; fletchers straighten arrows; carpenters bend wood; the wise master themselves.

He who is kind to animals heaven will protect.

Through effort you will cross any raging flood, through energy you will pass any sorrow.

To do a little good is more than to accomplish great conquests.

Rage is a powerful energy that with diligent practice can be transformed into fierce compassion. However much we disagree with our enemies, our task is to identify with them. They too feel justified in their point of view.
