He who walks in the company of fools suffers much. Company with fools, as with an enemy, is always painful. Company with the wise is pleasure, like meeting with kinfolk.

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.

As solid rock remains unmoved by the wind, so the wise remain unmoved by blame and praise.

It is good to have companions when occasion arises, and it is good to be contented with whatever comes.

The tongue like a sharp knife ... Kills without drawing blood.

You have to do your own work; Enlightened Ones will only show the way. Those who practise meditation will free themselves from the chains of death

The worlds originate so that truth may come and dwell therein.
