Life without freedom is like a body without a soul, and freedom without thought is like a confused spirit…
I reached in experience the nirvana which is unborn, unrivalled, secure from attachment, undecaying and unstained.

Be determined. The Tempter masters the lazy and irresolute man who dwells on the attractive side of things, ungoverned in his senses, and unrestrained in his food, like the wind overcomes a rotten tree.
May peace rule the universe; may peace rule in kingdoms and empires; in states and in the lands of the potentates; in the house of friends and may peace also rule in the house of enemies.
