Sandalwood, tagara, lotus, jasmine - the fragrance of virtue is unrivalled by such kinds of perfume.

Everything is changeable, everything appears and disappears; there is no blissful peace until one passes beyond the agony of life and death.

Never in this world can hatred be stilled by hatred; it will be stifled by non-hatred - this is the law Eternal.

The way to happiness is: keep your heart free from hate, your mind from worry. Live simply, give much. Fill your life with love. Do as you would be done by.

Those who are free of resentful thoughts surely find peace.

Generosity brings happiness at every stage of its expression. We experience joy in forming the intention to be generous. We experience joy in the actual act of giving something. And we experience joy in remembering the fact that we have given.

The wise man makes an island of himself that no flood can overwhelm.
