To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one’s family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one’s own mind. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him.
We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world.
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 ways from light into darkness and from darkness into light. There are ways, also, from the gloom into deeper darkness, and from the dawn into brighter light. The wise man will use the light he has to receive more light. He will constantly advance in the knowledge of truth.
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.
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.
To walk safely through the maze of human life, one needs the light of wisdom and the guidance of virtue.
