Be greatly aware of the present.
Happiness comes when your work and words are of benefit to others.
Wear your ego like a loose fitting garment.
People with opinions just go around bothering one another.
Words do not express thoughts very well; every thing immediately becomes a little different, a little distorted, a little foolish. And yet it also pleases me and seems right that what is of value and wisdom of one man seems nonsense to another.
Resolve to be tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant with the weak and wrong. Sometime in your life, you will have been all of these.
May all that have life be delivered from suffering.
Our life is shaped by our mind; we become what we think. Suffering follows an evil thought as the wheels of a cart follow the oxen that draws it.
Nothing ever exists entirely alone; everything is in relation to everything else.
The trouble is, you think you have time.
The greatest prayer is patience.
Set your heart on doing good. Do it over and over again, and you will be filled with joy.
He is able who thinks he is able.
Learn this from water: loud splashes the brook but the oceans depth are calm.
Conquer anger by love, evil by good; conquer the miser with liberality, and the liar with truth.
If you find no one to support you on the spiritual path, walk alone. There is no companionship with the immature.
You will not be punished for your anger, you will be punished by your anger.
You only lose what you cling to.
Be vigilant; guard your mind against negative thoughts.
Just to say 'I believe' or 'I do not doubt' does not mean that you understand and see. To force oneself to see and accept a thing without understanding is political and not spiritual or intellectual.
