The only things that are truly mine are my actions and their results.

My actions are my only true belongings. I cannot escape the consequences of my actions. My actions are the ground upon which I stand.

What you are is what you have been. What you'll be is what you do now.

If you want to know your past life, look at your present condition. If you want to know your future life, look at your present actions.

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

Through violence, you may solve one problem, but you sow the seeds for another.

All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think we become.

Happiness is not something ready-made. It comes from your own actions.

Should a person do good, let him do it again and again. Let him find pleasure therein, for blissful is the accumulation of good.

If you want to know your past life, look into your present condition; if you want to know your future life, look into your present actions.

All experiences are preceded by mind, led by mind, made by mind. Speak or act with a corrupted mind, and suffering follows as the wagon wheel follows the hoof of the ox.
