Attachment leads to suffering.

Chaos is inherent in all compounded things. Strive on with diligence.

An idea that is developed and put into action is more important than an idea that exists only as an idea.

Our theories of the eternal are as valuable as are those which a chick which has not broken its way through its shell might form of the outside world.

Our life is shaped by our mind; we become what we think. Joy follows a pure thought like a shadow that never leaves.

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

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.

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.

Understanding is the heartwood of well-spoken words.

Meditate… do not delay, lest you later regret it.

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

The root of suffering is attachment.

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

Give, even if you only have a little.

All that we are is the result of what we have thought.

No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path.

Do not look for a sanctuary in anyone except your self. 

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

There are two ways of exerting one’s strength; one is pushing down, the other is pulling up

Those who are happiest are those who do the most for others.

Success in life is founded upon attention to the small things rather than to the large things; to the every day things nearest to us rather than to the things that are remote and uncommon

“Success always leaves footprints.” 

Character, not circumstances, makes the man

I shall allow no man to belittle my soul by making me hate him
