There is no more self-contradictory concept than that of idle thoughts. What gives rise to the perception of a whole world can hardly be called idle. Every thought we have either contributes to truth or to illusion.

To be idle is a short road to death and to be diligent is a way of life; foolish people are idle, wise people are diligent.

When faced with the vicissitudes of life, one's mind remains unshaken, sorrow-less, stainless, secure; this is the greatest welfare

A kind man who makes good use of wealth is rightly said to possess a great treasure; but the miser who hoards up his riches will have no profit.

Your enemy can be your greatest teacher.

We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.

How wonderful! How wonderful! All things are perfect, exactly as they are.
