1. To be angry is to let others' mistakes punish yourself.
2. 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.
3. Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best
relationship.
4. Happiness comes when your work and words
are of benefit to yourself and others.
5. Every human being is the author of his own health or disease.
6. Happiness is a journey, not a destination.
7. He is able who thinks he is able.
8. The Way is not in the sky. The Way is in the heart.
9. Through zeal, knowledge is gotten; through lack of zeal, knowledge is lost.
10. Being deeply learned and skilled, being well-trained and using well-spoken words, this is good luck.
11. Words have the power to both destroy and
heal. When words are both true and kind, they
can change our world.
12. Do not believe in anything simply because
you’ve 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.
13. The secret of health for both mind and body is
not to mourn for the past, worry about the
future, or anticipate troubles, but to live in the
present moment wisely and earnestly.
14. Whatever words we utter should be chosen
with care, for people will hear them and be
influenced by them for good or ill.
15. 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.
16. Do not overrate what you have received, nor
envy others. He who envies others does not
obtain peace of mind.
17. Good men and bad men differ radically. Bad
men never appreciate kindness shown them,
but wise men appreciate and are grateful.
Wise men try to express their appreciation and
gratitude by some return of kindness, not only
to their benefactor, but to everyone else.
18. There has to be evil so that good can prove its
purity above it.
19. If a man's mind becomes pure, his
surroundings will also become pure.
20. There is nothing more dreadful than the habit
of doubt. Doubt separates people. It is a
poison that disintegrates friendships and
breaks up pleasant relations. It is a thorn that
irritates and hurts; it is a sword that kills.
