But if you miss it, you will next be confronted with the angry deities, ... threatening you and barring your passage ... because you turned a deaf ear to the saving truths of religion. All these forms are strange to you, ... they terrify you, ... and yet it is you who have created them. Do not give in to your fright, ... flee them not! They are but ... the contents of your own mind... If at this point you should manage to understand that, ... and you will find yourself in a paradise among the angels.

When a man has pity on all living creatures then only is he noble.

There is nothing more dreadful than the habit of doubt.

If one is the master of oneself, one is the resort one can depend on; therefore, one should control oneself of all.

If a man offend a harmless, pure, and innocent person, the evil falls back upon that fool, like light dust thrown up against the wind.

Beware of the anger of the mouth. Master your words. Let them serve truth.

Every human being is the author of his own health or disease.
