1. All that we are is the result of what we have
thought. If a man speaks or acts with an evil
thought, pain follows him. If a man speaks or
acts with a pure thought, happiness follows
him, like a shadow that never leaves him.
2. Be vigilant; guard your mind against negative thoughts.
3. What we think, we become.
4. There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth; not going all the way, and not starting.
5. Happiness never decreases by being shared. To keep the body in good health is a duty, otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear.
6. A jug fills drop by drop.
7. There is nothing so disobedient, as an undisciplined mind, and there is nothing so obedient, as a disciplined mind.
8. Work out your own salvation. Do not depend on others.
9. A man should first direct himself in the way he should go. Only then should he instruct others.
10. An outside enemy exists only if there is anger inside.
11. All know the Way, but few actually walk it.
12. If you wish to be gentle with others, be gentle first with yourself.
13. No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path.
14. It is a man's own mind, not his enemy or foe, that lures him to evil ways.
15. Just as a candle cannot burn without fire, men cannot live without a spiritual life.
16. You will always be getting praise and blame, but do not let either affect the poise of the mind.
17. Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without.
18. Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened.
19. Your body is precious. It is our vehicle for awakening. Treat it with care.
20. Your work is to discover your work, and then with all your heart to give yourself to it.
