It is a man’s own mind, not his enemy or foe that lures him to evil ways.
A family is a place where minds come in contact with one another. If these minds love one another the home will be as beautiful as a flower garden. But if these minds get out of harmony with one another it is like a storm that plays havoc with the garden.
Do not dwell in the past; do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.
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.
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.
We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.
