Words have the power to both destroy and heal. When words are both true and kind, they can change our world.

He who loves 50 people has 50 woes; he who loves no one has no woes.

If a traveller does not meet with one who is his better, or his equal, let him firmly keep to his solitary journey; there is no companionship with a fool.

Silence the angry man with love. Silence the ill-natured man with kindness. Silence the miser with generosity. Silence the liar with truth.

Just as a snake sheds its skin, we must shed our past over and over again.

If you truly loved yourself, you could never hurt another.

Attachment leads to suffering.

The ignorant man is an ox. He grows in size, not in wisdom.

A man is not called wise because he talks and talks again; but if he is peaceful, loving and fearless then he is in truth called wise.

Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.

May all that have life be delivered from suffering.

When you come upon a path that brings benefit and happiness to all, follow this course as the moon journeys through the stars.

As rain falls equally on the just and the unjust, do not burden your heart with judgements but rain your kindness equally on all.

Kindness should become the natural way of life,not the exception.

Look at the bark of a redwood, and you see moss.

Even in the middle of barking dogs, you can hear the footsteps of a big revolution!

How difficult it is to save the bark of reputation from the rocks of ignorance.

Have Faith. Where’er thy bark is driven, – The calm’s disport, the tempest’s mirth, – Know this: God rules the hosts of heaven, The habitants of earth.

My bite louder than my bark.

I am Diogenes the Dog. I nuzzle the kind, bark at the greedy and bite scoundrels.

Dog bark at what they don’t understand.
