The greatest action is not conforming with the worlds ways.

Little by little a person becomes evil, as a water pot is filled by drops of water... Little by little a person becomes good, as a water pot is filled by drops of water.

Do not carry with you your mistakes. Do not carry your cares. Travel on alone. Like an elephant in the forest.

All beings wish for happiness, so extend your compassion to all.

A person is not learned nor wise because he talks much; the person who is patient, free from hatred and fear, that person is called learned and wise.

If you are tossed about by doubts, full of strong thoughtless passions, and yearning only for that which is detrimental, your thirst will grow stronger and stronger, unquenched, and your pain will grow with your defilements.

When one feels no shame in telling a deliberate lie, there is no evil, I tell you, he will not do.
