“Mind is a forerunner of all actions.
All deeds are led by mind, created by mind.
If one speaks or acts with corrupt mind,
suffering follows,
As the wheel follows the hoof of an ox pulling a cart.
Mind is the forerunner of all actions.
All deeds are led by mind, created by mind.
If one speaks or acts with a serene mind,
happiness follows,
As surely as one's shadow.
'He abused me, he mistreated me, defeated me, robbed me.'
Harboring such thoughts keeps hatred alive.
'He abused me, he mistreated me, defeated me, robbed me.'
Releasing such thoughts banishes hatred for all time.
Animosity does not eradicate animosity.
Only by loving kindness is animosity dissolved.
This law is ancient and eternal.”

“Though you might conquer in battle
A thousand times a thousand men,
You're the greatest battle-winner
If you conquer just one - yourself.”

“All that we are is the result of what we have thought: It is founded on our thoughts,
It is made up of our thoughts.
If a man speaks or acts with an evil thoughts,
Pain follows him as the wheel follows
The foot of the ox that draws the carriage.
All that we are is the result of what we have thought: It is founded on our thoughts,
It is made up of our thoughts.
If a man speaks or acts with a pure thought,
Happiness follows him
Like a shadow that never leaves him
"He abused me, he beat me,
he defeated me, he robbed me,"--
In those who harbor such thoughts
Hatred will never cease
"He abused me, he beat me,
He defeated me, he robbed me,"--
In those who do not harbor such thoughts
Hatred will cease.
For hatred does not cease by hatred at any time; Hatred ceases by love; this is an old rule.”

“While a man desires a woman,
His mind is bound
As closely as a calf to its mother.
As you would pluck an autumn lily,
Pluck the arrow of desire.”
