By degrees, little by little, from time to time, a wise person should remove his own impurities as a smith removes the dross from silver.
An ignorant man committing evil deeds does not realise the consequences. The imprudent man is consumed by his own deeds, like one burnt by fire.
Hatred never ceases through hatred in this world; through love alone they cease. This is an eternal law.
A solid rock is not disturbed by the wind; even so, a wise person is not agitated by praise or blame.
Make haste in doing good; check your mind from evil; for the mind of him who is slow in doing meritorious actions delights in evil.
Win over the ill-natured man by goodness…Make haste in doing good; check your mind from evil; for the mind of him who is slow in doing meritorious actions delights in evil.
