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.
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; but I do believe in a fate that falls on them unless they act.
Faith is nourishment, virtuous deeds are a shelter, wisdom is light by day and right mindfulness is protection by night.
