Develop a mind of equilibrium. You will always be getting praise and blame, but do not let either affect poise of mind: follow calmness, the absence of pride.
It is a man’s own mind, not his enemy or foe that lures him to evil ways.
Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.
If one speaks or acts with pure mind, because of that happiness follows one, even as one’s shadow that never leaves.
Everything is blooming most recklessly; if it were voices instead of colours, there would be an unbelievable shrieking into the heart of the night.
Let your aims be common, and your hearts of one accord, and all of you be of one mind, so you may live well together.
