Whatever happens, I will not let my cheerfulness be disturbed. Being unhappy won't get me anywhere and will dissipate all my goodness. Why be unhappy about something if you can change it? And if you can't, how will being unhappy help?

Why be unhappy about something if it can be remedied? And what is the use of being unhappy about something if it cannot be remedied?

All happiness comes from the desire for others to be happy.

One should do nothing other than what is directly or indirectly of benefit to living beings.

Death will be so quick to swoop on you; Gather merit till that moment comes! Wait till then to banish laziness? Then there'll be no time, what will you do? "This I have not done. And this I'm only starting. And this - I'm only halfway through ..." Then is the sudden coming of the Lord of Death, And oh, the thought 'Alas, I'm finished.'

How wonderful will it be when all beings experience each other as limbs on the one body of life.

If the problem can be solved why worry? If the problem cannot be solved worrying will do you no good.
