Drop by drop is the water pot filled. Likewise, the wise man, gathering it little by little, fills himself with good.

Better than a thousand hollow words, is one word that brings peace.

No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path.

The way is not in the sky. The way is in the heart.

Do not look for a sanctuary outside of yourself.

Truth is timeless; it belongs to no single age.

Walk forward with mindfulness, and joy will follow.

The path of righteousness leads to unbroken peace.

The roots of prosperity are planted in the soil of righteousness.

Where there is mercy, there is righteousness. Where there is greed, there is sin. Where there is anger, there is death. Where there is forgiveness, there is God.

The tree does not eat its own fruit, nor does the river drink its own water. The wise take birth solely for the welfare of others.

No one is high and no one is low by birth alone; he who realizes the Supreme Truth is truly noble.

Truth alone triumphs, never falsehood.

Trees do not eat their own sweet fruit; rivers do not drink their own waters; the life of the noble is poured out for the welfare of others.

The fragrance of sandalwood spreads only with the wind, but the fragrance of a righteous life spreads in all directions.

Speak the truth, speak what is pleasing, but never speak an untruth to please, nor a harsh truth out of malice.

The physical body is the sacred foundation and instrument for the performance of all righteous duty.

Duty performed with absolute detachment leaves behind no residue of sorrow or regret.

Wealth acquired through deceit and unrighteousness burns like a fiery brand in the house of the thief.

The earth sustains all creatures—the saint and the sinner—without a single complaint.
