‎You only lose that which you cling to.

Men who are addicted to the passions are like the torch-carrier running against the wind; his hands are sure to be burned.

Love in the past is only a memory. Love in the future is only a fantasy. True love lives in the here and now.

There are two things that we should avoid, oh disciple! A life of pleasures, that is low and vain. A life of mortification, that is useless and vain.

My whole life, I never spoke a single-word.

The wind cannot shake a mountain. Neither praise nor blame moves the wise man.

Come, live with the doors of the senses guarded, diligent and mindful, vigilant and mindful, with the ways of the mind well watched, possessed of a mind that is awake and observing.
