"All that we are is the result of what we have thought: it is founded on our thoughts and made up of our thoughts. If a man speak or act with an evil thought, suffering follows him as the wheel follows the hoof of the beast that draws the wagon.... If a man speak or act with a good thought, happiness follows him like a shadow that never leaves him."
"When the Aggregates arise, decay and die, O bhikkhu, every moment you are born, decay, and die."
"The Way is not in the sky; the Way is in the heart."
"Words do not express thoughts very well; every thing immediately becomes a little different, a little distorted, a little foolish. And yet it also pleases me and seems right that what is of value and wisdom of one man seems nonsense to another."
"Those who have failed to work toward the truth have missed the purpose of living."
"Doubt everything. Find your own light."
