“When you come upon a paththat brings benefit and happiness to all,follow this courseas the moonjourneys through the stars.”

“Happiness comes when your work and words are of benefit to others.”

“Praise and blame, gain and loss, pleasure and sorrow come and go like the wind. To be happy, rest like a giant tree in the midst of them all”

“Following the Noble Path is like entering a dark room with a light in the hand; the darkness will all be cleared away, and the room will be filled with light.”

“There is no path to happiness: happiness is the path.”

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

“All that we are is the result of what we have thought: it is founded on our thoughts and made up of our thoughts. If a man speak or act with an evil thought, suffering follows him as the wheel follows the hoof of the beast that draws the wagon.... If a man speak or act with a good thought, happiness follows him like a shadow that never leaves him.”
