When you move your focus from competition to contribution life becomes a celebration. Never try to defeat people, just win their hearts.

When we free ourselves of desire, we will know serenity and freedom.

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.

As an irrigator guides water to his fields, as an archer aims an arrow, as a carpenter carves wood, the wise shape their lives.

If there is only empty space, with no suns nor planets in it, then space loses its substantiality.

Happiness will never come to those who fail to appreciate what they already have.

Be lamps unto yourselves; be your own confidence. Hold truth within yourselves.
