The way to happiness is: keep your heart free from hate, your mind from worry. Live simply, give much. Fill your life with love. Do as you would be done by.
More than those who hate you, more than all your enemies, an undisciplined mind does greater harm.
Good men and bad men differ radically. Bad men never appreciate kindness shown them, but wise men appreciate and are grateful. Wise men try to express their appreciation and gratitude by some return of kindness, not only to their benefactor, but to everyone else.
The world is a looking glass. It gives back to every man a true reflection of his own thoughts. Rule your mind or it will rule you.
Life is dear to all beings, they have the right to live the same that we do.
For those who are always courteous and respectful of elders, four things increase: life, beauty, happiness and strength.
Do not give your attention to what others do or fail to do; give it to what you do or fail to do.
You are far from the end of your journey. The way is not in the sky. The way is in the heart. See how you love.
When an evil-doer, seeing you practise goodness, comes and maliciously insults you, you should patiently endure it and not feel angry with him, for the evil-doer is insulting himself by trying to insult you.
In this world Hate never yet dispelled hate. Only love dispels hate. This is the law, Ancient and inexhaustible.
Change is never painful, only the resistance to change is painful.
In our lives, change is unavoidable, loss is unavoidable. In the adaptability and ease with which we experience change, lies our happiness and freedom.
Consider Others as Yourself.
The fool says, “These are my sons, this is my land, this is my money.” In reality, the fool does not own himself, much less sons, land, or money.
Let us live most happily, free from hatred in the midst of the hateful; Let us remain free from hatred in the midst of people who hate.
Mind is everything. What we think, we become.
Rather than continuing to seek the truth, simply let go of your views.
True and lasting inner peace can never be found in external things. It can only be found within in. And then, once we find and nurture it with ourselves, it radiates outward.
If you find no one to support you on the spiritual path, walk alone. There is no companionship with the immature.
Everything is changeable, everything appears and disappears; there is no blissful peace until one passes beyond the agony of life and death.
