• Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else you are the one who gets burned.
• In a controversy the instant we feel anger we have already ceased striving for the truth, and have begun striving for ourselves.
• You will not be punished for your anger, you will be punished by your anger.
• The only real failure in life is not to be true to the best one knows.
• Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship.
• To be idle is a short road to death and to be diligent is a way of life foolish people are idle, wise people are diligent.
• Without health life is not life it is only a state of langour and suffering - an image of death.
• Even death is not to be feared by one who has lived wisely.
• The only real failure in life is not to be true to the best one knows.
• 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.
