Faith is nourishment, virtuous deeds are a shelter, wisdom is light by day and right mindfulness is protection by night.
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.
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.
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.
Your work is to discover your work and then with all your heart to give yourself to it. That’s the mark of a true professional.
