If one lights a fire for others, one will brighten one's own way.

Suffer what there is to suffer. Enjoy what there is to enjoy. Regard both suffering and joy as facts of life.

One should become the master of one's mind rather than let one's mind master him.

That which you give to another will become your own sustenance; if you light a lamp for another, your own way will be lit.

Worthy persons deserve to be called so because they are not carried away by the eight winds: prosperity,decline,disgrace,honor,praise,censure,suffering, and pleasure.They are neither elated by prosperity nor grieved by decline. The heavenly gods will surely protect one who is unbending before the eight winds.

It is the heart that is important.

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.
