Long is the night to him who is awake; long is a mile to him who is tired; long is life to the foolish who do not know the true law.

Endurance is one of the most difficult disciplines, but it is to the one who endures that the final victory comes.

The one in whom no longer exist the craving and thirst that perpetuate becoming; how could you track that Awakened one, trackless, and of limitless range.

Just as the great ocean has one taste, the taste of salt, so also this teaching and discipline has one taste, the taste of liberation.

We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world.

Stop, stop. Do not speak. The ultimate truth is not even to think.

If you propose to speak always ask yourself, is it true, is it necessary, is it kind.

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

Understanding is the heartwood of well-spoken words.

Better than a thousand hollow words, is one word that brings peace.

Nothing can harm you as much as your own thoughts unguarded.

You yourself must strive. The Buddhas only point the way.

Even as a solid rock is unshaken by the wind, so are the wise unshaken by praise or blame.

People with opinions just go around bothering each other.

Silence the angry man with love. Silence the ill-natured man with kindness. Silence the miser with generosity. Silence the liar with truth.

The root of suffering is attachment.

If you knew what I know about the power of giving, you would not let a single meal pass without sharing it in some way.

The greatest gift is to give people your enlightenment, to share it. It has to be the greatest.

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

Irrigators channel waters; fletchers straighten arrows; carpenters bend wood; the wise master themselves.

Even death is not to be feared by one who has lived wisely.

Give, even if you only have a little.

One who acts on truth is happy in this world and beyond.

If we fail to look after others when they need help, who will look after us?
