All that we are is the result of what we have thought; what we think we become.
What you think you become.
However many holy words you read, However many you speak, What good will they do you If you do not act on upon them?
Whatever words we utter should be chosen with care for people will hear them and be influenced by them for good or ill.
Believe nothing, No matter where you read it, Or who has said it, Not even if I have said it, Unless it agrees with your own reason And your own common sense.
We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.
Concentrate the mind on the present moment.
Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle. Happiness never decreases by being shared.
You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere. You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.
It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles.
Even death is not to be feared by one who has lived wisely.
Three things cannot long be hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth.
Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship.
Work out your own salvation. Do not depend on others.
It is a man's own mind, not his enemy or foe, that lures him to evil ways.
Every human being is the author of his own health or disease.
To conquer oneself is a greater task than conquering others.
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.
With our thoughts we make the world.
Do not overrate what you have received, nor envy others. He who envies others does not obtain peace of mind.
