You will not be punished for your anger; you will be punished by your anger.

As a flower that is lovely and beautiful, but is scentless, even so fruitless is the well-spoken word of one who does not practice it.

Drop by drop is the water pot filled. Likewise, the wise man, gathering it little by little, fills himself with good.

Hatred does not cease by hatred, but only by love; this is the eternal rule.

To understand everything is to forgive everything.

Let none find fault with others; let none see the omissions and commissions of others. But let one see one's own acts, done and undone.

One moment can change a day, one day can change a life, and one life can change the world.

Not by hatred is hatred conquered, but by love alone. This is an eternal law.

Radiate boundless love towards the entire world — above, below, and across — unhindered, without ill will, without enmity.

Whatever precious jewel there is in the heavenly worlds, there is nothing comparable to one who is awakened.

Be a lamp unto yourself. Work out your liberation with diligence.

Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth.

Words have the power to both destroy and heal. When words are both true and kind, they can change our world.

The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, worry about the future, or anticipate troubles, but to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly.

Like a fine flower, beautiful to look at but without scent, fine words are fruitless in a man who does not act in accordance with them.

All experiences are preceded by mind, having mind as their master, created by mind.

There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth; not going all the way, and not starting.

Those who cling to perceptions and views wander the world offending people.

The way is not in the sky. The way is in the heart.

Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.
