“The past is already gone, the future is not yet here. There’s only one moment for you to live.”

“You only lose what you cling to.”

“I never see what has been done; I only see what remains to be done.”

“Learn this from water: loud splashes the brook but the oceans depth are calm.”

“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.”

“It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you.” 

The way is not in the sky. The way is in the heart.

The tongue like a sharp knife… Kills without drawing blood.

Every human being is the author of his own health or disease.

Born out of concern for all beings.

May all beings have happy minds.

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

However many holy words you read, however many you speak, what good will they do you if you do not act on upon them?

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.

Like a fine flower, beautiful to look at but without scent, fine words are fruitless in a man who does not act in accordance with them.

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.

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.
