Hate is only conquered by love.

Cut out the love of self, like an autumn lotus with thy hand!

After 48 years, I have said nothing.

The number of those endowed with human life is as small as the amount of earth one can place on a fingernail. Life as a human being is hard to sustain--as hard as it is for the dew to remain on the grass. But it is better to live a single day with honor than to live to 120 and die in disgrace.

If a man does what is good, let him do it again; let him delight in it; happiness is the outcome of good.

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.

What you think you become.
