There is nothing more dreadful than the habit of doubt. Doubt separates people. It is a poison that disintegrates friendships and breaks up pleasant relations. It is a thorn that irritates and hurts; it is a sword that kills.

Have compassion for all beings, rich and poor alike; each has their suffering. Some suffer too much, others too little.

Teach this triple truth to all: A generous heart, kind speech, and a life of service and compassion are the things which renew humanity.

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.

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

The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, worry about the future, or anticipate troubles, but to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly.

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

To conquer oneself is a greater task than conquering others

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

To keep the body in good health is a duty...otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear.

There has to be evil so that good can prove its purity above it.
