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.
There is no fire like passion, there is no shark like hatred, there is no snare like folly, there is no torrent like greed.
All that we are is the result of what we have thought.
All things that are born must die. Work hard for your own freedom from suffering.
Like the moon, Come out from behind the clouds! Shine.
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 everything agrees with reason and is conductive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.
