Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful.
Speak not harshly to anyone. Those thus addressed will retort. Painful, indeed, is vindictive speech. Blows in exchange may bruise you.
This deep self-confidence, uncompromising quest for Truth is a lesson for all of us.
We need to be aware of our own selves, our body, our breath, our mind, how the mind works. Become confident of who you are.
The self-confidence one builds from achieving difficult things and accomplishing goals is the most beautiful thing of all.
By cultivating the beautiful we scatter the seeds of heavenly flowers, as by doing good we cultivate those that belong to humanity.
Life has been compared with a battle and rightly so, as each day comes up with a new set of challenges which we must meet. One cannot just shy away from problems if he has to survive. He has to meet to challenges with courage.
