If a man who enjoys a lesser happiness beholds a greater one, let him leave aside the lesser to gain the greater.

If you cannot find a good companion to walk with, walk alone, like an elephant roaming the jungle. It is better to be alone than to be with those who will hinder your progress.

Look within, thou art the Buddha.

Not merely by rules of conduct and religious observances, nor by much learning either, nor even by attainment of concentration, nor by sleeping alone, do I reach the happiness of freedom, to which no worldlings attain. If you have not put an end to compulsions, nurse your faith

I am always at the beginning.

Foolish, ignorant people indulge in careless lives, whereas a clever man guards his attention as his most precious possession.

If a man can control his body and mind and thereby refrains from eating animal flesh and wearing animal products, I say he will really be liberated.
