"Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment."
"Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it."
"Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared."
"All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think we become."
"An idea that is developed and put into action is more important than an idea that exists only as an idea."
"In the sky, there is no distinction of east and west; people create distinctions out of their own minds and then beleive them to be true."
"What we are today comes from our thoughts of yesterday, and our present thoughts build our life of tomorrow: Our life is the creation of our mind."
