There is no fire like passion, there is no shark like hatred, there is no snare like folly, there is no torrent like greed.

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

Holding onto anger is like grasping onto a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else. You are the one who gets burned

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.

You are the community now. Be a lamp for yourselves. Be your own refuge. Seek for no other. All things must pass. Strive on diligently. Don’t give up.

Purity or impurity depends on oneself,
No one can purify another.
