If it is not truthful and not helpful, don't say it. If it is truthful and not helpful, don't say it. If it is not truthful and helpful, don't say it. If it is truthful and helpful, wait for the right time.

Joyful is the accumulation of good work.

You will not be punished for your anger, you will be punished by your anger... Let a man overcome anger by love.

The secret of happiness lies in the mind's release from worldly ties.

Neither my life of luxury in the palace -nor- my life as ascetic in the forest were ways to enlightenment.

All the holy words you read and all the holy words you speak are as nothing if you do not act upon them. Even if you read little and say little but live the right way, forsaking craving, hatred and delusion, you will know the truth and find calmness and will show others the path.

But when one masters this wretched desire, which is so hard to overcome, then one's sorrows just drop off, like a drop of water off a lotus.
