Sustaining a loving heart, even for a moment, makes one a spiritual being.

Chase after money and security and your heart will never unclench.

A mind unruffled by the vagaries of fortune, from sorrow freed, from defilements cleansed, from fear liberated - this is the greatest blessing.

When one is overcome by this wretched, clinging desire in the world, one's sorrows increase like grass growing up after a lot of rain.

Craving brings pain; craving brings fear. If you do not yield to craving, you will be free from pain and fear

If a man's mind becomes pure, his surroundings will also become pure.

By your own folly you will be brought as low as your worst enemy wishes.
