Life is short and the time of death is uncertain; so apply yourself to meditation. Avoid doing evil, and acquire merit, to the best of your ability, even at the cost of life itself. In short: Act so that you have no cause to be ashamed of yourselves and hold fast to this rule.

Strong and healthy, who thinks of sickness until it strikes like lightning? Preoccupied with the world, who thinks of death, until it arrives like thunder?

Accustomed long to contemplating love and compassion I have forgotten all difference between myself and others

Hasten slowly and ye shall soon arrive.

My religion is to live and die without regret.

Do not entertain hopes for realization, but practice all your life.

You menace others with your deadly fangs. But in tormenting them, you are only tormenting yourselves.
