To master the pride of defiant selfhood, that in truth is the highest bliss.

Only he who crosses the stream of life wishes to know what is known as unknowable.

If the traveler cannot find master or friend to go with him, let him travel alone rather than with a fool for company.

You can only lose what you cling to.

Speak the truth do not become angered and give when asked, even be it a little. By these three conditions one goes to the presence of the gods.

Freed by full realization and at peace, the mind of such a man is at peace, and his speech and action peaceful. He has no need for faith who knows the uncreated, who has cut off rebirth, who has destroyed any opportunity for good or evil, and cast away all desire. He is indeed the ultimate man.

Let us live most happily, free from hatred in the midst of the hateful; Let us remain free from hatred in the midst of people who hate.
