“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.”

A jug fills drop by drop.

I am the miracle.

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

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.

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

If you find no one to support you on the spiritual path, walk alone.

Understanding is the heartwood of well-spoken words.

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

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.

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

Give, even if you only have a little.

If anything is worth doing, do it with all your heart. 

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

You can’t hold a man down without staying down with him

“The thing to do when one feels sure that he has said or done the right thing and is condemned, is to stand still and keep quiet. If he is right, time will show it.” 

If you want to lift yourself up, lift up someone else.

“A race, like an individual, lifts itself up by lifting others up.”

“Nothing ever comes to me, that is worth having, except as the result of hard work.”

 It is important and right that all privileges of the law be ours, but it is vastly more important that we be prepared for the exercise of those privileges

. “It means a great deal, I think, to start off on a foundation which one has made for oneself.”

There is no escape — man drags man down, or man lifts man up.

Don’t turn away. Keep your gaze on the bandaged place. That’s where the light enters you.
