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

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.

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

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

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

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 truly loved yourself, you could never hurt another.

Live in joy, in love, even among those who hate. Live in joy, in health, even among the afflicted. Live in joy, in peace, even among the troubled. Look within, be still.

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