"The greatest achievement is self-mastery."

"An impulse will make a man stammer, or stumble, or fall, but it won't make him a coward."

"The only person responsible for your happiness is you."

"Teach only love and kindness everywhere you go."

"Enlightenment is the unpolluted, undefiled, unspoiled, uncorrupted, and undisturbed natural state."

"The goal of Buddhism is not to gain anything, but to lose something."
