The traveller has reached the end of the journey!
All that we are is the result of what we have thought; what we think we become.
With our thoughts we make the world.
However many holy words you read, However many you speak, What good will they do you If you do not act on upon them?
Just as a flower which seems beautiful and has color but no perfume, so are the fruitless words of the man who speaks them but does them not.
Speak or act with a pure mind, and happiness will follow you as your shadow, unshakable.
Just as a tree, though cut down, can grow again and again if its roots are undamaged and strong, in the same way if the roots of craving are not wholly uprooted sorrows will come again and again
Your worst enemy cannot harm you as much as your own unguarded thoughts.
If a man speaks or acts with a pure thought, happiness follows him, like a shadow that never leaves him.
There is no fire like passion No crime like hatred, No sorrow like separation, No sickness like hunger, And no joy like the joy of freedom.
Do not have evil-doers for friends, do not have low people for friends: have virtuous people for friends, have for friends the best of men.
Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.
Health is the greatest possession. Contentment is the greatest treasure. Confidence is the greatest friend. Non-being is the greatest joy.
Just as a solid rock is not shaken by the storm, even so the wise are not affected by praise or blame.
Some do not understand that we must die, But those who do realize this settle their quarrels.
In this world Hate never yet dispelled hate. Only love dispels hate. This is the law, Ancient and inexhaustible.
Better than a thousand hollow words Is one word that brings peace. Better than a thousand hollow verses Is one verse that brings peace.
Speak or act with a pure mind and happiness will follow.
Speak the truth, do not yield to anger; give, if thou art asked for little; by these three steps thou wilt go near the gods.
The ignorant man is an ox. He grows in size, not in wisdom.
