Joyously participate in the sorrows of others.

The darkest night is ignorance.

Solitude is happiness for one who is content, who has heard the Dhamma and clearly sees. Non-affliction is happiness in the world - harmlessness towards all living beings.

The eating of meat extinguishes the seed of Great Kindness.

Hatred is never appeased by hatred in this world. By non-hatred alone is hatred appeased. This is a law eternal.

But when one masters this wretched desire, which is so hard to overcome, then one's sorrows just drop off, like a drop of water off a lotus.

Better than a long speech is a single quietening word.
