• However many holy words you read, however many you speak, what good will they do you If you do not act on upon them?
• Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn't learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn't learn a little, at least we didn't get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn't die; so, let us all be thankful.
• Have compassion for all beings, rich and poor alike; each has their suffering. Some suffer too much, others too little.
• Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.
• An idea that is developed and put into action is more important than an idea that exists only as an idea.
• 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.
• Every human being is the author of his own health or disease.
• Do not overrate what you have received, nor envy others. He who envies others does not obtain peace of mind.
• The whole secret of existence is to have no fear. Never fear what will become of you, depend on no one. Only the moment you reject all help are you freed.
• An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast; a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind.
• Your work is to discover your work and then with all your heart to give yourself to it.
• All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think we become.
• Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.
• Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.
• All that we are is the result of what we have thought. If a man speaks or acts with an evil thought, pain follows him. If a man speaks or acts with a pure thought, happiness follows him, like a shadow that never leaves him.
• Hatred does not cease by hatred, but only by love; this is the eternal rule.
