The only real failure in life is not to be true to the best one knows.

Without health life is not life it is only a state of langour and suffering – an image of death.

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.

Just as a candle cannot burn without fire, men cannot live without a spiritual life.

To be idle is a short road to death and to be diligent is a way of life foolish people are idle, wise people are diligent.

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.

To live a pure unselfish life, one must count nothing as one’s own in the midst of abundance.

Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.
