“Tune as the sitthar, neither high nor low, and we will dance away the hearts of men.”

“Better than a thousand hollow words is one word that brings peace.”

“Not merely by rules of conduct and religious observances, nor by much learning either, nor even by attainment of concentration, nor by sleeping alone, do I reach the happiness of freedom, to which no worldlings attain. If you have not put an end to compulsions, nurse your faith”

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