And, we have no such thing as a budget anymore. Our manager freaks when we show him the bill. We're lavish to the bone, but all our money goes back into the product.

If we're weird onstage, I don't know what you'd call the Tubes.

Do not overrate what you have received, nor envy others. He who envies others does not obtain peace of mind.

It is easy to see the faults of others, but difficult to see one’s own faults. One shows the faults of others like chaff winnowed in the wind, but one conceals one’s own faults as a cunning gambler conceals his dice.

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.

“Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without.”

“However many holy words you read, However many you speak, What good will they do you If you do not act on upon them?”

“Work out your own salvation. Do not depend on others.”

“If you find no one to support you on the spiritual path, walk alone. There is no companionship with the immature.”

Whatever a monk keeps pursuing with his thinking and pondering, that becomes the inclination of his awareness.

“Happiness does not depend on what you have or who you are. It solely relies on what you think.”

“It is ridiculous to think that somebody else can make you happy or unhappy.”

We are formed and molded by our thoughts. Those whose minds are shaped by selfless thoughts give joy when they speak or act. Joy follows them like a shadow that never leaves them.

When I get real excited, my muscles go into spasm, so they just shake.

Mind precedes all mental states. Mind is their chief; they are all mind-wrought.

Transcendental intelligence rises when the intellectual mind reaches its limit and if things are to be realized in their true and essential nature, its processes of thinking must be transcended by an appeal to some higher faculty of cognition.

‘As I am, so are these. As are these, so am I.’ Drawing the parallel to yourself, neither kill nor get others to kill.

See them, floundering in their sense of mine, like fish in the puddles of a dried-up stream — and, seeing this, live with no mine, not forming attachment for states of becoming.

You are a seeker. Delight in the mastery of your hands and your feet, of your words and your thoughts.

There is nothing so disobedient as an undisciplined mind, and there is nothing so obedient as a disciplined mind.

Delight in heedfulness! Guard well your thoughts!

“Happiness never decreases by being shared.”

Nothing ever exists entirely alone; everything is in relation to everything else.

“If a man’s thoughts are muddy, If he is reckless and full of deceit, How can he wear the yellow robe? Whoever is master of his own nature, Bright, clear and true, He may indeed wear the yellow robe.”
