Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn’t learn a lot today, 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.
All that we are is the result of what we have thought. If you speak or act with an evil thought, pain follows. If you speak or act with a pure thought, happiness follows, like a shadow that never leaves.
We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.

I reached in experience the nirvana which is unborn, unrivalled, secure from attachment, undecaying and unstained.

I do not believe in a fate that falls on men however they act; but I do believe in a fate that falls on them unless they act.
