Virtue is persecuted more by the wicked than it is loved by the good.

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

Even death is not to be feared by one who has lived wisely.

It is a man's own mind, not his enemy or foe, that lures him to evil ways.

To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one's family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one's own mind. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him

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

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

No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path.
