The wise have mastered body, word, and mind. They are the true masters.
A person is ruined by taking the measure of other persons.
Be lamps unto yourselves; be your own confidence. Hold truth within yourselves.
Yet the Teaching is simple. Do what is right. Be pure. At the end of the way is freedom.
Foolish, ignorant people indulge in careless lives, whereas a clever man guards his attention as his most precious possession.
A person writing at night may put out the lamp, but the words he has written will remain. It is the same with the destiny we create for ourselves in this world.
