“The trouble is, you think you have time.”

“You only lose what you cling to.”

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

“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.

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?

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.

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.

We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world.

Stop, stop. Do not speak. The ultimate truth is not even to think.

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

Delight in meditation and solitude. Compose yourself, be happy. You are a seeker.

Better than a thousand hollow words, is one word that brings peace.

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

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