We are what we think.

All that we are arises with our thoughts.

With our thoughts we make the world.

In this world

Hate never yet dispelled hate.

Only love dispels hate.

This is the law,

Ancient and inexhaustible.

Better than a thousand hollow words

Is one word that brings peace.

Better than a thousand hollow verses

Is one verse that brings peace.

There is no fire like passion

No crime like hatred,

No sorrow like separation,

No sickness like hunger,

And no joy like the joy of freedom.

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.

You are the source

Of all purity and impurity.

No one purifies another.

It is better to do nothing

Than to do what is wrong.

For whatever you do, you do to yourself.

Master your words.

Master your thoughts.

Never allow your body to do harm.

Follow these three roads with purity

And you will find yourself upon the one way,

The way of wisdom.

You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.

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

Neither fire nor wind, birth nor death can erase our good deeds.

Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without.

The greatest prayer is patience.

With gentleness overcome anger.

With generosity overcome meanness.

With truth overcome deceit.

Never speak harsh words

For they will rebound upon you.

Angry words hurt

And the hurt rebounds.

Like a broken gong.

Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship.

The mind is everything; what you think you become.

Hatred does not cease by hatred, but only by love; this is the eternal rule.

Work out your own salvation. Do not depend on others.

The wise have mastered

Body, word and mind.

They are the true masters.

Let no one deceive another

or despise anyone anywhere,

or through anger or irritation

wish for another to suffer.
