So you think that money is the root of all evil.
Have you ever asked what is the root of all money?
---
To say "I love you" one must first be able to say the "I."
---
An idea that is developed and put into action is more important
than an idea that exists only as an idea.
---
An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast;
a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind.
---
Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.
---
He who loves 50 people has 50 woes; he who loves no one has no woes.
---
Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship.
---
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.
---
However many holy words you read, however many you speak, what good will they do you if you do not act on upon them?
---
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.
---
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.
---
No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path.
---
On life's journey faith is nourishment, virtuous deeds are a shelter, wisdom is the light by day and right mindfulness is the protection by night. If a man lives a pure life, nothing can destroy him.
---
Teach this triple truth to all: A generous heart, kind speech, and a life of service and compassion are the things which renew humanity.
---
The foot feels the foot when it feels the ground.
---
The mind is everything. What you think you become.
---
The only real failure in life is not to be true to the best one knows.
---
There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth; not going all the way, and not starting.
---
There has to be evil so that good can prove its purity above it.
