Your work is to discover your work and then with all your heart to give yourself to it. That’s the mark of a true professional.
To walk safely through the maze of human life, one needs the light of wisdom and the guidance of virtue.
We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.
There are two mistakes one can make along the road to truth...not going all the way, and not starting.
There are ways from light into darkness and from darkness into light. There are ways, also, from the gloom into deeper darkness, and from the dawn into brighter light. The wise man will use the light he has to receive more light. He will constantly advance in the knowledge of truth.
From craving is born grief, from craving is born fear. For one freed from craving there’s no grief – so how fear?
All that we are is the result of what we have thought. If you speak or act with an evil thought, pain follows. If you speak or act with a pure thought, happiness follows, like a shadow that never leaves.
