Work out your own salvation. Do not depend on others.
There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth not going all the way, and not starting.
Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth.
It is better to travel well than to arrive.
Those who are free of resentful thoughts surely find peace.
Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without.
Better than a thousand hollow words, is one word that brings peace.
Do not overrate what you have received, nor envy others. He who envies others does not obtain peace of mind.
I do not believe in a fate that falls on men however they act but I do believe in a fate that falls on them unless they act.
You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.
Hatred does not cease by hatred, but only by love this is the eternal rule.
You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere. You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe deserve your love and affection.
Just as a candle cannot burn without fire, men cannot live without a spiritual life.
To live a pure unselfish life, one must count nothing as one's own in the midst of abundance.
Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.
The virtues, like the Muses, are always seen in groups. A good principle was never found solitary in any breast.
Virtue is persecuted more by the wicked than it is loved by the good.
Whatever words we utter should be chosen with care for people will hear them and be influenced by them for good or ill.
Just as treasures are uncovered from the earth, so virtue appears from good deeds, and wisdom appears from a pure and peaceful mind. To walk safely through the maze of human life, one needs the light of wisdom and the guidance of virtue.
To keep the body in good health is a duty... otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear.
