Do not accept anything simply because it has been said by your teacher, or because it has been written in your sacred books, or because it has been believed by many, or because it has been handed down by your ancestors. Accept and live only according to what will enable you to see truth face to face.

All fear violence, all are afraid of death.

One who conquers himself is greater than another who conquers a thousand times a thousand on the battlefield.

She who knows life flows, feels no wear or tear, needs no mending or repair.

Truth is always truth, untruth is always untruth. This is what matters, this is right desire.

Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.

The mind precedes all things, the mind dominates all things, the mind creates all things.
