A family is a place where minds come in contact with one another. If these minds love one another the home will be as beautiful as a flower garden. But if these minds get out of harmony with one another it is like a storm that plays havoc with the garden.
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.
A generous heart, kind speech, and a life of service and compassion are the things which renew humanity.
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.
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.
Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who has said it, not even if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.
There are two mistakes one can make along the road to truth...not going all the way, and not starting.
We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world.
