“Every morning we are born again. What we do today is what matters most.”

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.

It is a man’s own mind, not his enemy or foe, that lures him to evil ways.

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.

The past is already gone, the future is not yet here. There’s only one moment for you to live, and that is the present moment

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.

An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast; a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind.

Like the moon, come out from behind the clouds! Shine.

But what matter whether I was born or not, have lived or not, am dead or merely dying. I shall go on doing as I have always done, not knowing what it is I do, nor who I am, nor where I am, nor if I am.

Grief is a species of idleness.

A person can’t help their birth.

Do not desire crosses, unless you have borne those already laid upon you well — it is an abuse to long after martyrdom while unable to bear an insult patiently.

Basically, I started singing when I started talking. Music has just been my saving grace my whole life.

A genius is not born, but is educated and trained.

Happy the heart where love has come to birth.

Truth is the only healthy place from which to speak. Assumption is the birthplace of godless chatter.
