His success may be great, but be it ever so great the wheel of fortune may turn again and bring him down into the dust.

Freedom and happiness are found in the flexibility and ease with which we move through change.

And for a disciple thus freed, in whose heart dwells peace, there is nothing to be added to what has been done, and naught more remains for him to do. Just as a rock of one solid mass remains unshaken by the wind, even so, neither forms, nor sounds, nor odors, nor tastes, nor contacts of any kind, neither the desired, nor the undesired, can cause such an one to waver. Steadfast is his mind, gained is deliverance.

Whoever doesn't flare up at someone who's angry wins a battle hard to win.
