My favorite things in life don't cost any money. It's really clear that the most precious resource we all have is time.

I believe that a simple and unassuming manner of life is best for everyone, best both for the body and the mind.

Nothing is easier than to admit in words the truth of the universal struggle for life, or more difficult, at least I have found it so, than constantly to bear this conclusion in mind.

Frame your mind to mirth and merriment which bars a thousand harms and lengthens life.

Just as a mother would protect with her life her own son, her only son, so one should cultivate an unbounded mind towards all beings, and loving-kindness towards all the world.

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.
