Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship.

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

It is better to travel well than to arrive.

Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth.

There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth not going all the way, and not starting.

In a controversy the instant we feel anger we have already ceased striving for the truth, and have begun striving for ourselves.

To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one's family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one's own mind. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him.

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.

Work out your own salvation. Do not depend on others.
