A man is not called wise because he talks and talks again; but if he is peaceful, loving and fearless then he is in truth called wise.
Even as a solid rock is unshaken by the wind, so are the wise unshaken by praise or blame.
Fools, their wisdom weak, are their own enemies as they go through life, doing evil that bears bitter fruit.
The thought manifests the word; The word manifests the deed; The deed develops into habit; And habit hardens into character; So watch the thought and its ways with care, And let them spring forth from love Born out of compassion for all beings. As the shadow follows the body, as we think, so we become.
