Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship.
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.
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.
In a controversy the instant we feel anger we have already ceased striving for the truth, and have begun striving for ourselves.
There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth not going all the way, and not starting.
