The fragrance of sandalwood and rosebay does not travel far. But the fragrance of virtue rises to the heavens.

Like a mother who protects her child, her only child, with her own life, one should cultivate a heart of unlimited love and compassion towards all living beings.

Believe there is good in the world.

You too shall pass away. Knowing this, how can you quarrel?

Mind precedes all phenomena, mind matters most, everything is mind-made. If with an impure mind, you speak or act, then suffering follows you as the cartwheel follows the foot of the draft animal. If with a pure mind, you speak or act, then happiness follows you as a shadow that never departs

He who wrongs the innocent must bear the fruit of his act, like dust flung against the wind.

Be quick to do good. If you are slow, the mind, delighting in mischief, will catch you.
