1- Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.
2- Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship.
3- Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth.
4- Just as a candle cannot burn without fire, men cannot live without a spiritual life.
5- No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path.
6- We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.
7- You will not be punished for your anger, you will be punished by your anger.
8- 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.
9- There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth; not going all the way, and not starting.
10- It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.
