"Do not overrate what you have received, nor envy others. He who envies others does not obtain peace of mind."
"It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell."
"Just as treasures are uncovered from the earth, so virtue appears from good deeds, and wisdom appears from a pure and peaceful mind. To walk safely through the maze of human life, one needs the light of wisdom and the guidance of virtue."
"There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth; not going all the way, and not starting."
"Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared."
"
We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves."
