A good friend who points out mistakes and imperfections and rebukes evil is to be respected. An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast; a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind.
What you think, you become. What you feel, you attract. What you imagine, you create.
Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.
Holding onto anger is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die.
An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast; a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind.
Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth.
Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn't learn a lot at least we learned a little, and if we didn't learn a little, at least we didn't get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn't die; so, let us all be thankful.
In the end
these things matter most:
How well did you love?
How fully did you live?
How deeply did you let go?
Every morning we are born again. What we do today is what matters most.
If you truly loved yourself, you could never hurt another.
Chaos is inherent in all compounded things. Strive on with diligence.
Without health life is not life; it is only a state of langour and suffering - an image of death.
To be idle is a short road to death and to be diligent is a way of life; foolish people are idle, wise people are diligent.
It is a man's own mind, not his enemy or foe, that lures him to evil ways.
In the sky, there is no distinction of east and west; people create distinctions out of their own minds and then believe them to be true.
I do not believe in a fate that falls on men however they act....
Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without.
The past is already gone, the future is not yet here. There's only one moment for you to live, and that is the present moment.
There is no fire like passion, there is no shark like hatred, there is no snare like folly, there is no torrent like greed.
When you come upon a path
that brings benefit
and happiness to all,
follow this course
as the moon
journeys through the stars.
Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.
