A generous heart, kind speech, and a life of service and compassion are the things which renew humanity.
We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.
To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one’s family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one’s own mind. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him.
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.
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.
To walk safely through the maze of human life, one needs the light of wisdom and the guidance of virtue.
