There is no fire like passion. There are no chains like hate. Illusion is a net, Desire is a rushing river.

Wherever a person goes, his deeds, like a shadow, will follow.

A wrong action may not bring its reaction at once, even as fresh milk turns not sour at once: like a smouldering fire concealed under ashes it consumes the wrongdoer, the fool.

Buddha was speaking in a village square one day, when one of the inhabitants started to abuse him. Buddha paused and said to the man, "If you offer me a piece of paper and I refuse to accept it, what happens to the paper?" "Why, it stays with me, of course," the villager replied. Buddha smiled gently, "And that is exactly what I am doing with your abuse," he said. "I am not accepting it, therefore it stays with you."

Everything that happens to us is the result of what we ourselves have thought, said, or done.We alone are responsible for our lives.

It is because I perceive the danger in the practice of mystic wonders, that I loath, abhor, and am ashamed thereof.

One who is unrestrained in life-delusion overcomes; as the wind a weak tree.
