It is the heart that is important.
Buddhism is reason. Reason will win over your lord.
Could there ever be a more wonderful story than your own?
Suffer what there is to suffer. Enjoy what there is to enjoy. Regard both suffering and joy as facts of life.
Summoning up the courage to take action is always the same regardless of how seemingly big or small the challenge. What may look like a small act of courage is courage nonetheless. The important thing is to be willing to take a step forward.
Never let life's hardships disturb you. No one can avoid problems, not even saints or sages.
