When you are annoyed at someone's mistake, immediately look at yourself and reflect how you also fail; for example, in thinking that good equals money, or pleasure, or a bit of fame. By being mindful of this you'll quickly forget your anger, especially if you realize that the person was under stress, and could do little else. And, if you can, find a way to alleviate that stress.

Dress not thy thoughts in too fine a raiment. And be not a man of superfluous words or superfluous deeds.

If you do everything as if it were the last thing you were doing in your life, and stop being aimless, stop letting your emotions override what your mind tells you, stop being hypocritical, self-centered, irritable.

You don't have to turn this into something. It doesn't have to upset you. Things can't shape our decisions by themselves.

Think of yourself as dead. You have lived your life. Now, take what's left and live it properly. What doesn't transmit light creates its own darkness.

Life is short. Do not forget about the most important things in our life, living for other people and doing good for them.

I cannot comprehend how any man can want anything but the truth.
